    Settings: XP sp 3

    Drive 0 --- 2TB HDD (master) (boot drive)
    Drive 0 --- 1TB HDD (slave)
    Drive 1 --- CD/DVD (master)

    The settings above are working fine for longtime.

    Just add on:

    Drive 2 --- 2TB HDD (master) --> Can see the HDD but can not initialized in Disk Management, don't see any options to initialize the HDD.

    I'm new here, please give me some helps.

    Thanks,

    Danny

    you can only have one master drive, can you change to slave?

    is there any data on this drive?

    assign a different drive letter, what happens?
