Windows Linus Hard Drives
I have an old Delly that has windows xp on it. Over the years, first I changed the partitions so that I could put on a Ubuntu 10.x desktop on there.. Everything fine until I added a 1 TB drive and tride to use it. Everything f***ed up. So I removed it and used it as an offlline storage through external usb. I recently put a Ubuntu 12.x on there and now receive the expected choice as to where I wish to boot. Next I added a 350 SATA hard drive (primary drive is SATA) and assumed system would handle the addition. But neither OS seem to see it.
I need an XP computer to be able to load itunes for the ex.
Windows xp pro and Ubuntu do not see the additional drive. What am I missing.
Thanks in advance.

Rindi is on right track. Does your BIOS see this drive at all?

mea culpa. did not think about bios. Went into bios and it saw SATA-0 and SATA-2. I had to turn on sata 2. It now sees a simpledrive in xp. Ubuntu I believe saw it, but told me I needed permission.
Either way, it is working now. Thanks.
