HDD Problems
Hi all,
I recently installed 2 new 320gb hdd's and am unable to load any o/s on them.
I have vista premium and xp. When i tried to load xp,it got to the "choose drive to install on" but neither of the drives were in the list
When i tried to load vista,it got to the pick a drive section and they were both listed.
The only trouble is there is only 9mb of free allocated space on each so i had to exit the set up as it couldnt load..i had the option to change this but am unsure of what that should be
Both drives are seen in bios and disk management.I formatted both of them and there is now 298gb free on each..am i meant to right click to make them active? I did that to one but didnt notice any difference
The 2 new drives are on the raid sata points but in bios all the settings are set as ide and the promise controller is enabled
I have never had this issue with drives so am stumped at the moment after hours of trying to work it out
Any help will be greatly appreciated
