Hi,

I have formatted my whole drive and installed Leopard succesfully and using it right now as my primary system! But I've got one problem! Ive got two hard drives in my computer, the first and biggest one is recognised and on that one if installed Leopard, but the 2nd isnt recognised, how do I get that one working?

Thanks!

How do you have your drives connected? Do you have two Systems Windows + Mac or two Mac HDs?

If it's IDE, do you have two controllers (Primary and Secondary) Connect both hard drives to Primary, the Mac drive as Master. Connect DVD drives to the secondary port. Check the jumpers.

If it's SATA, is your chipset supported? Perhaps drives are disabled in the BIOS (Detection set to None instead of Auto). We need some infos about your hardware setup, especcially the mainboard.

I have two official Windows HDs, my first drive is a SATA and its detected, the second one is IDE and isnt detected..

I have a Nforce motherboard, Asrock AliveNF5SLI-1394 motherboard.

Do you have Win + Mac on one HD or are you using seperate HDs? I always would recommend this. Why IDE HD's aren't detected I don't understand becuase it's normally better supported than SATA. It is detected in Windows or in the BIOS? Are you using an 80-pin cable?

Im not running Win anymore! I just have Leopard installed on the main sata disk, but the system doesnt recognised my other IDE harddrive

On which port is it connected? Are you using Cable Select or have you manually jumpered to Master or Slave? What about the cable, 80 pin or 40 pin?

I have it manually jumpered it to Slave and its connected with the Slave Cable its a 40pin cable! The bios does find it, but mac doesnt

Ok he does find it now but I get this error! Look at the picture!

drive either needs to be put in pc with xp and checkdisk run or shutdown properly

ntfs-3g just sucks, ive downloaded: http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/download.html

and everything is working perfectly, sadly its a paid program, and only 10 day trial.
