 |  harddrive setups I had a maxtor 80 gb sata disk hooked up on my asus a8v with two partitions, and last weekend I hooked up my new rma-ed raptor 74 on the second sata channel, when the system boots I see both disks pass, but when in windows I see only the two partitions in my explorer. when I go to system hardware, the raptor is there besides the 80 gb sata, and it seems to be functioning normally. what is the problem?

| it is not partitionned start/control pannel/admin tools/computer management somewhere in the left menu, one of the last items 'disk management' right clicking on any of the disks at the bottom gives you the option to format/partition/... them :-) |

| Does that raptor 74gb give a noticeable speed difference vs that 80gig maxtor of yours? (Planning on buying one my self) |

 | according to TerAngreal it makes a world of difference; He swapped his system drive with the older Raptor and his windows was flying compared to his normal WD. close to SCSI speeds according to benchmarks

| Ok thx. Should the 36GB version be sufficient for windows and progs? Got 160Gb for data. |

| but the 36 gb version is just a little bit slower. I had a raptor and it is actually faster than anything before
