Missing Hard Drive

Ok, after a software glitch during the Vista Upgrade killed my two RAID 250GB HDs in my XPS410, I worked with Dell to reformat my drives as non-raid drives. The only problem is now I can only see one drive. I reinstalled XP then Vista onto the first 250GB drive, but the other drive doesn't show up anywhere. In BIOS, it says that its "on", but I can't do anything else with it.

Any Ideas?

Check disk management to see if that sees both drives (possibly one of them without any partitions).

Right click My computer -> Manage -> Disk Management.

You are my hero...Thanks a ton. The second drive was unallocated. I ran the simple allocation tool there and voila...it is formatting as we speak.

Now if only I could fix the networking problem on my old primary XP machine...but I think that's a different thread.

Thanks again!
