i boughts a new wd raptor drive and i have as primary a reg ide hd. i was having problems bootin up with botyh connected until i finally figures that out. now my new hd reads as a cd rom drive for some reason. i uninstalled the drive from the properties menu and rechecked for available hardware and it still came up as cd drive. any thoughts on how to fix it so i can format it.
 
I would check your bios and make sure everything that needs to be turned on is... ide / sata / whatnot ..just take another look and make sure everything is correct...
 
Sorry, but have to make sure you have installed sata drivers as you havent mentioned that.
