    Some time back I replaced the original HD (ST912082 1AS) with an larger unit (ST932042 1AS). No issues at all until I decided to add the original back in as a secondary drive. I had the adapter for the drive already, so it should have been a no-brainer. Went into the BIOS and it was recognized, and after booting up, it shows up as a drive under COMPUTER and DEVICE MANAGER. Shows as unformated. Tried to frmat it and I can not access the drive. I am using Windows Vista Home.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.
