I have a Gateway GT5228 with two SATA II ports. Last night I took my WD3200AAJS that I was using as an external HD and installed it to the 2nd SATA II port. Vista is now EXTREMELY SLOW (about 10x slower) and if I try to access the drive from My Computer it freezes (Not Responding) and crashed Explorer. I opened Disk Management and the drive shows as RAW with 100% free space. How do I get the computer to recognize the drive correctly?
