Hi wreckless00, and welcome to BleepingComputer.
Are the two drives on the same IDE cable? If they are, are they set as master and slave? Is the IDE cable installed backwards, as you are looking at the rear of the drive the red stripe on the cable should be on the right. -------------------- Lord, may we please have a little more chlorine in the gene pool?
