Thanks for that. I have put back the IDE drive with Win2k on it and made
sure the computer boots up OK. Then plugged in one of the two SATA drives
and boot up. The SATA drive is shown as being connected but is not seen
in disk management or in win explorer.

Does it not show at all in disk management? Usually it will be sitting
there waiting to be partitioned and formatted.


It usually has to be intialised as well if it has no pre-existing partition
table (i.e. virgin disk). The give away is the disk appearing in the disk
manager with what looks like a tiny 'no entry' symbol next to it.
