Help with deteching HDD in Vista

i have 2 SATA HDD in my system, was using XP without any problems. After i've
installed vista, only one is displayed. The weird thing is the "missing" HDD
appears in my system bios and is even in the "Device Manager", but i cannot
choose the "populate" option nor make make it appear under "Computer".

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Go here and search for Dual Boot:

You will not "see" the other operating system or drive in Computer. They are
completely separate. You must boot to the drive you want to use.

What makes you think this is a dual boot issue?

I have a similar problem and both drives are new and I am only using One OS
Vista Ultimate. See my thread close by!
