1166143 2011-01-01 03:04:00 Ok so we are trying to plug in two Western Digital Elements 1023, 1TB HDD into one laptop, running windows 7. It will not pick up the second drive when you plug it in, no matter what order you put it in. It will however play one of them, plus a seagate 500GB HDD. Anyone know why this would be?

Also note it will show the drive in safety eject in the task bar, but no programs, including freecommander will pick up the second one. One of them has been renamed but still nothing. It has shown them both in the past, it has just stopped working.

Thanks in advance

Open 'Start' menu, right-click 'Computer' open 'Manage'. Double click 'Storage''Disk Management'. Look for your drive. If you find it, right click "Change drive letters and paths' give it a drive letter. Click explore.
