Dupe post about recognizing Ultra ATA and 200gb hd

Post by Random »

**This is also posted in the Bios section** please don't stab me. I'm just not sure if it's a bios issue or not.


I'm a novice that's almost got my puter how I want it. Most of it couldn't have been done without this site. Now all I have left is to add my 200gb hd for movie storage. I would rather recognize it whole, but if I have to chop it in half I guess I will. As it stands my 3rd and 4th ide slots aren't recognized. Don't know why or I would have gone that route instead of taking up a pci slot. I have a new Adaptec Ultra ATA/133 controller card and was trying to figure out how to integrate it into my system. Tried it last night and it just wouldn't show up. Right now I have 2 80gb hds, a cdrw and dvdrw in the 1st and 2nd ide slots. I can lose the cdrw and put the 200gb in it's place if it'll recognize it all, but don't want to sacrifice it just for a 137gb limited or partitioned 200gb hd. Any more knowledge out there?
I don't know what info is needed so here's a little:

Windows XP Pro ver. 5.1.2600
2 466mhz @ 525mhz
HPT 366 1.28
SMBIOS ver 2.2
