MY PC is having trouble detecting my HDD i put in a HDD cradlle.

I recently updated my pc and installed a pci ide card into it.

Now when i put my hdd in the hdd craddle which is connected to my ide pci card on my motherboard...it detects the hdd during the boot up sequence of my pc.

But when i get to my desktop screen and go to "my computer" ...it doesn't show up in my hdd listing.

 

So i went into control panel....into computer management...disk management and i could see all my drives listed there...but the one i put in the craddle says "disk 1 dynamic foreign".

 

I can't access it at all .... but it's listed there.

 

 

I clicked on import foreign disks...and i get an error message saying check error log.

 

 

The error log said something about error in LDM and W32Time and Dhcp

 

What could be the problem?.

Im not too sure about those PCI IDE cards, but check to see if the Hard drive is Recognized and Activated in the BIOS. Make sure its the Secondary Drive and that the Jumpers are correct.

What does the LDM error say?

Is the hard drive formatted? I bet thats what the problem is.

 

Or check the drivers for the IDE card, maybe theres some app that comes with it your supposed to do something in.
