[QUOTE="rodm177, post: 320267, member: 30991"] Maybe I missed something, and if so then please forgive... BUT YOU HAVE TO format these drives even if they are for data alone. That is why it saw the XP drive, it is already formatted and you installed a OS on it. Unhook all drives except one WD New HD and run Win 7 disk, select custom, and format the drive, now do the 2nd WD HD. No connect your orig hard drive with the OS on it and hook up the 2 WD HD as data drives and you should be good to go, will boot up and see 2 data drives. [/QUOTE]
