using windows 7 my second hard drive shows up and works but has an red x on it I have went to computer mang. then storage to assign a new drive letter but still nothing.please helpIs it your main computer, or some test computer?
Win 7 is only in beta stages.main computer
As I said, Win 7 is in beta stages, and it should NEVER be installed on main machine.
We're not here to solve beta programs issues.Broni is right here...if you are relying on a BETA OS as a primary machine you are taking risks...
As to the red X drive what was on it and what OS was it being used with ? ?500 gb no OS system on this hard drive, drive is blank
A red (X) indicates a disabled device. A disabled device is a device that is physically present in the computer, consuming resources, but does not have a protected-mode driver loaded.

they mite not have it setup to do two drives yet. Remember its only in beta form at the moment.Has it been FORMATTED yet ? ?
Some new drives are not.

How does disk management report it when you right clik it and select properties ? ?















/Better question to what patio is asking has it been partitoned to be used swith this system?How is that a better question if i already ASKED if it has been formatted ? ?
