Windows not detecting hard drive

[Indus]

I have been trasnferring files from HDD's and I booted w/ my WinXP cd and deleted a partition on a storage drive and then created a new partition w/o installing WinXP. Rebooted and the drive is detected in BIOS but doens't show up in XP, in my computer or the device manager.

Any ideas on what I can do to get this drive to show up??

Athlon XP 2600
Asus K7V600
Kingston 1GB PC3200
GeForceFX 5200 128DDR

Unplug the hd, boot up, shutdown, plug hd back in, and boot up. Hopefully windows will find it/install it. For future reference you can manage partitions from disk managment in windows. I think it's better to use that on additional hard drives

Yep disk management is the best place to try to fix that type of thing if the reinstall didnt work. Also a very very handy tool is partition magic, it has saved me a fair few times in the past with similar types of problems.
