New drive installed, but it doesn't work Reader Elvin Cordle's Windows needs a little more elbow room, so he decided to add a new, larger hard drive to his machine.
* "I originally had two hard drives (80gig and 40gig) installed in my computer, and recently I wanted to update one of the drives to a 160gig. After I made the swap, the computer does not recognize the new drive. All of the drives are parallel ATA. "I am pretty familiar with computers and have always repaired my computer and several of my friends' computers. Any help will be appreciated."This week's WindowsSecrets.com newsletter runs through the how-tos for installing a new drive and getting it working properly. Other items in my column this week:
