    When I go to Device Manager, one of my hard drives shows up as 'Disk Drive', whereas my other hard drive shows as 'Maxtor...'
    The drive that doesn't show the name is my secondary master and is a Western Digital 120G. If I go into Bios, the Western Digital and Maxtor both show.
    Does anyone know why?
    I'm running Win XP Pro.
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    Possibly it is too new for XP to recognise it as such??
