Vista sees both drives in bios and device manager 1

[profution]

IQON new machine Core TM 2 Duo 3 MHz

Problem: vista premium doesn’t show Slave drive in explorer only master
Device manager sees master and slave?
Any ideas please
• Master hard-drive Samsung sp2514n 250GB (Pata) partitioned
• Slave WDC WD2500JB 250GB
On a gigabyte Motherboard GA-945GZM-S2 (I read the manual)
Bios see both drives master/slave. And in cable select mode on one ribbon EIDE port
I’ve tried two old IDE drives both worked but put any with the Samsung and vista doesn’t show in explorer.
Please help !

Have you tried the Samsung as master rather than cable select?

Is the WD formatted? Is it initialized in Disk Management?

Right click on My Computer and choose Manage. Then go down to Storage Management->Disk Management is it there? Can you initialize it or format it?
