Windows 7 RC1 does not recognize my secondary hard drive

I installed windows 7 RC1 on my system (2 GB of ram, processor E7200, ASUS P5QL-E). I started with 2 x 250 GB hard drives and purchased a 1 TB drive that was on sale. At first, I installed it with all three additional readers, the 1 on the 250 GB drives. All my disks were very well known at this point, but I realized that I have installed windows 7 hard disk that was dying, so I made another clean install. Now the two discs (the second disk of 250 GB and the 1 TB drive) are recognized by my BIOS, but disk management does not see my 1 TB drive. Someone has an idea what here?

To which I would recommend checking the physical and other connections, maybe turn the system off and remove the disk and all reinstall.  If you have another operating system installed yet, you can also check here and make sure it is fully visible and operational in this still from the BONE.

Even if Windows decides for some reason he cannot use a piece of hardware, it should be always displayed in Device Manager.  Something very early in the process goes wrong if it does not show here.

  • Backup Win XP does not recognize my external hard drive

    Windows XP Backup Wizard does not recognize my external hard drive and does not list it as an option for storing backups.  I suspect a registry problem because the backup wizard previously recognized this drive and saved on it several times before I was running ARO 2012 for cleaning the registry errors.  I can always open the player in windows Explorer and see the files it contains, but Explorer Windows XP now lists the drive as an "expansion disc" instead of a 'removable disk '.  When I right click in windows Explorer and open 'properties' for this drive, it shows it as a 'local disk' instead of a 'removable disk '.  The drive is ok when I click the button 'Remove hardware safely', and it reports "safe to remove hardware" after I click on "USB storage device - Drive (J :). ».  Help!

    Who did.  Thank you!  Now...
