My second seagate barracuda disk does not appear in 'my computer' in windows xp

I installed a drive hard barracuda on sata2 connector. It shows in the BIOS as master. My windows xp operating system is on my first hard disk on the sata1. It shows also as master. The new drive is not recognized in my computer. How can I put it as slave on the first disc as there are no jumpers to do it manually?

  • Click Start
  • Click on run
  • Type diskmgmt.msc and press enter
  • You will be prompted to initialize your new drive, move (drag) the message on one side, so that you can see the disk management window in its entirety and make sure your new drive is the disk that should initialize
  • Click on the button next wizard
  • Make sure that your new hard drive is selected (boot disks), and then click the next button
  • Make sure that your new hard drive is not selected (the disks to be converted), and then click the next button
  • Click on the Finish button
  • In disk management, right-click the unallocated space on your new drive and then click New Partition...
  • Make sure that the primary partition is selected and click on the next button
  • Leave the default partition size (all your new drive), and then click the next button
  • If you do not want the suggested default change drive you want allocated letter and click the next button
  • Change the volume name if you want but leave the rest of the information as the default and click the next button
  • Click on finish

Disk management will make formatting your hard drive and displays its progress in percentage. When it's over your disk will be ready to use.

    Please help and Windows 7 or windows 8.1 PC do the same thing.

    Hello

    I found the description of the product of this external HARD disk:

    Product features:
    • USB 3.0 - powered portable add-on storage.
    • Voltage of bus capable USB, no need for AC adapter.
    • Easy to use with no software to install.
    • Adapts to large digital files with spacious storage capacity.
    • Protect your drive (internal shock sensor and ramp loading technology).

    Specifications
    • Capacity: 1.0 TB
    • Interface: USB 3.0
    • Transfer rate: up to 5 Gb/s
    • Speed: 5 400 rpm
    • Average access time: 12ms
    • Cache buffer: 8 MB

    It is a HARD USB 3.0 drive. No doubt the HARD drive is not recognized correctly in windows exploerer due to the low power.
    The USB 2.0 port common feeds only 500mA. The USB 3.0 device must be able to 900mA.
    Therefore, it would be advisable to connect this 2 ports USB 2.0 HARD drive with a USB Y cable
