I have a similar problem. My Maxtor DiamondMax10 200GB is recognized in the BIOS but missing in Windows 7 after boot up. When I do “Scan for hardware changes”, it’s immediately found and accessible. But after reboot it’s gone again. Anyone knows how to solve it? I’m using AHCI driver from Microsoft. All my other HDDs/SSD are detected with no problems. Or could it be a firmware problem of this (older) HDD?

Thank you. After countless google searches, forum, and blog browses I landed here. “Scan For Hardware Changes” just saved my life.

Thanks again.

ps: I’m using Vista, not Win7. So all I had to do was hit that Scan For Hardware Changes and the new drive showed it’s face, and I was able to initialize and partition it in the Disk Management. (though to be fair, I had been fiddling around with things for a while (see: countless google, foru.. blah blah) so I might have altered something during that time.

I am struggling with the following more or less similar issue:
- Placed a 2 years old WD 500 Gb SATA hard drive as second hard drive in my brand new Dell desktop, using a brand new SATA data cable
- BIOS recognized the second drive
- Windows 7 is not recognizing the second drive, not in Disk Management, not in any control tool
- Windows 7 takes 5 minutes to start, while with the original configuration (only one hard drive) Windows 7 starts within 15 seconds!

Who has the solution for me so that Windows 7 does recognize the second hard drive?
One post on the Internet suggests to use XP to format the drive, not really attractive route so exploring for other options.

Configuration:
- Dell Inspiron 545 with Windows 7
- Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8300 @ 2.50GHz, 2498 MHz
- 1 Tb primary hard drive
- second hard drive: Western Digital WD5000AAVS, WD Cavier GP, note: this drive comes from faulty WD MyBook World external drive, warranty expired, did not backup all data so need to recover this in one way or another (professional recovery services €800/$1100, too expensive)

It didn’t work for me. I’m running Vista business edition and installed a 2nd SATA 1T drive. What shall I do now?
