I have been building computers since '95. Each predeccessor to vista would just recognize a new hd whenever I replaced or added one. Well, I built a new system because my previous system wasn't good enough for vista premium, it would've run vista basic. But, aero was one of the big things about vista, so, I wanted windows vista premium. Well, my new mobo has 5 sata inputs. So I have 3 sata hds and 2 sata dvd drives, but, I could never get vista to recognize more than 1 sata hd. I found out last night that vista won't recognize a drive until it's formatted. So, if anyone else has this problem. Start CONTROL PANEL, select SYSTEM AND MAITENANCE, then under ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS select CREATA AND FORMAT HARD DISK PARTITIONS. The new drive will appear. Format it, and then it will showup in explorer or my computer.

Vista Sucks!

i agree

I thought so. But, if you turn off uac and the other security junck, it does blow 95

Your crazy takes gb and half of mem just to operate at min speed need like 3 gb to run at a good speed
