    Hi Guys,

    Just put my new build together and there are a couple of problems.

    First I can't find the two Samsung Hard Drives I have put in, only the SSD. How can I format them, as the computer knows they are connected, but hasn't assigned them a drive number.

    Also there is slightly ropey performance when playing GTA IV, which seems strange. It sometimes just blurs and you can't get a proper picture back.

    I am running

    intel Core i7 920
    Corsair H50
    Asus P6T Deluxe V2
    6GB Patriot RAM
    Crucial M225 64GB HD
    Samsung F3 1TB HD
    Samsung F1 1TB HD
    ATi Radeon HD 5870
    Bequiet Dark Power 850W
    Sony Lightscribe DVD-RW

    Any suggestions?

    Would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,

    go to control panel > administrative tools > computer management > disk management

    can enable the drives from there.

    as to the gaming issue, you might have to wait for more mature drivers possibly...
