So yeah, I bought a new case and cables, redid all the cabling, put in my 2 WD 80gb HDD, and now only one is useable. The one drive in question isa stand-alone drive (no slave attached to it). When I redo the cables, it says windows has found new hardware and it shows the drive as "WD xxxxxxxxxx" but afterwards it has alot of '!!!!!!!!!!!" after it. Device manager says nothing is wrong, but It does not show up under my computer and i can not access it anyway.
So what could be wrong, it's a storage drive, does it matter what IDE channel is it on, I have no jumper in it, since it is a standalone drive. Do dual-device IDE cables matter, I have tried it on both device plugs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
