    Im having problems installing vista ultimate on the second HDD. When i get as far as picking where i want it installed all i can see is my primary HDD. Am i missing drivers? Why does it not recognize my 2nd HDD? (Maxtor) :confused:

    Thanks!

    This is because Vista is defective by design...I downgraded to XP on my new laptop, and actually run Kubuntu most of the time...

    You should check and make sure that the HDD cables are connected, and if they are on the same cable, make sure you have the Master/Slave/CS jumpers set correctly. Other than that, I don't know.
