HI Feldan,
Is the 2nd HD formatted?
Do you see it under Disk Management?
Bill

I believe the 2nd drive was factory formatted but don't know forsure. I was using it for storage when i could see it with the original vista install. If i remember right it was listed as some type of removeable device like usb even though it was internal. The drive doesn't show up in the Bios anywhere at all...kinda weird.

The only drivers i have installed on this system so far are: 181.20_geforce_winxp_64bit_english_whql, the muaa HD drivers from microsoft, HD drivers from real teck, and the ones Grrrr listed in his first post on the other thread. Maybe i am missing a driver that is needed to see that second drive.

Here are some reports from everest:

HI Feldan,
Can you confirm you actually have 2 Seperate Harddrives installed?
You may have had just 1 HD that was split in 2 partitions.
From you report you have 1 roughly 600 GB HD

Can you also go to Disk Management:
Right Click My Computer>Manage>Disk Management
Post a screen shot of the Disk Management:
Here is how:

Well i have went through alot of os since i posted this. Was not happy with how win xpx64, win server 2003 and 2008 ran and am now on xp x32. Finally a decent os :P

I had time finally to get into the case and have a look. Seems that second drive was just a partition after all.

I have now only 1 yellow in device manager under "Other Devices-> Network Controller".

Details-> PCI\VEN_1814&DEV_0781&SUBSYS_760011AD&REV_00\4&3914BDD7&0&0090

Tried to have a look for it but no idea where to look and google showed me nothing. If you could help me out with this would be great :)

Also not sure if related or not but the internet on this computer is horrible slow speeds, high latency on first hop. If i hook my lappy up to the same connection it is way better.

Hi Feldan,
Are you having anymore issues?
Are there any remaining errors in the Device Manager?
Did the Ralink driver work out for you?
Thanks,
Bill
