Hi Guys,
I recently built a new system and installed X64 Vista. I bought a new sata drive to run windows on and another sata for storage. I also thought i might as well put my old drives on there and utilise those as well (they are IDE). I'm not able to see the IDE drives at all. I have never seen this issue before and ive built a few systems, but ive never mixed ide and sata before. I know all drives are working. has anyone encountered this issue or know about something similar? if im right and it is the mixing of ide and sata, is there anyway around it??

im thinking of using VMware or similar and try moving the ide data accross to the sata drives but im not sure that would work.

cheers for your thoughts/comments.

Peter
