Second hard drive not recognized in Dell E510
I recently purchased a Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 (250GB SATA II) for my Dell E510. I have connected the power and data cables and checked my bios to ensure that SATA 2 drive is set ON. However, when I go into Computer Mgmt/Disk Mgmt within XP the drive does not show up.
Help!
thank you!

I just had the same exact issue. When you go into computer mgmt, select disk mgmt. on the right/bottom pane where it shows the drives you will see disk 0 and disk 1. Right-click on disk 1 and select to initialize. Then to the right, right click on the drive and select to format/partition the drive.

- Thanks for your reminder. But I'd say comments in your signature section is very biased. Most likely those major brand memory such as Kingston, Corsair, PNY and Crucial can work with Dell computer without any problem. And they do have good deals in retailers.
Thanks. It's still a little bit more expensive than ebay. 18" is also kind of short. The original one Dell uses in E510 is a 24", I think.
Although a couple bucks are not a big deal. I still cherish IDE era when I never need to buy cable for HDD. :)
