well hello there... umm ive been running a maxtor 60gig hard drive for a while now but it is starting to get full... so i just recently decided to buy an extra internal IDE hard drive... the hard drive is a seagate 120gig... i didnt have another IDE cord available so i tried running the hard drive as the master over the cd-rom, which i put on slave... this seemed to work in the BIOS menu it was recognized on the right jumper, but it didnt come up as "drive B"... anyways i booted up and it doesnt show up in my computer, but it does show up as a hard disk drive in the device manager along with the old maxtor

if anyone know how i can fix this and get it to run as an extra hard drive, please help me out
