Its a SATA dirve right? I dont understand why it would be having this problem. have your tried any of the other sata sockets on your motherboard.
With it being defined as a foreign drive I should think it will be the file system. As Mac's do the same if you plug in a NTFS hdd. however I'm not 100%
cheer's i'll keep it ntfs for now

.
and yes it's a sata drive and i'v tried the other sockets to no avail

, hopefully a new install of windows in ntfs will sort this out well i hope so anyway, but thanks for the help and advice
