Neither disk manager nor BIOS see the drive.<br>
BIOS also does not see the good one, though disk manager does.<br>
Both are SATA disks.<br>
The motherboard is an ASUS A7V8X-X. Unlike my newer mobo, the BIOS
in this one does not have a boot option that shows all connected
hard drives, only "CD-ROM", "Removable Device", "IDE Hard Drive" and
"Other boot device".<br>
IDE is showing only "none" and "disabled" for choices.<br>
