Hey guys so i have overclocked my windsor,added a gpu maxed the ram and have win7 ultimate
Now i have a sata as my main drive and trying to add a secondary but an IDE drive,as you know the board has ide port,bios sees ide drive,win7 even installs drivers,speccy shows it but i dont see it under my computer.What the hell?I have connected it with a ide cable and its in slave mode,the cdrom is also on ide cable which the bios shows,Why cant i access or see it under my computer?Bios shows it as slave.

(12-11-2015, 12:33 AM)codyseth You not going to believe this.I have revived my hardrive with an application called hardrive regenerator,it worked like magic although it took 9 hours to finish because i chose to play it safe.The faster route would have taken about 2 hours.Thanks for pointing me in the right direction though,I didn't even know about disk management and stuff.My drive working like brand new.
