XP can not recognize second HDD

[Guest zy]

I added a new samsung spint point F1 1T hard disk (SATA) to my PC

(dell dimension 5100, which had a 250G HDD as SATA master already) .

The bios can see the new hard disk correctly. Also the boot disk

Samsung provided can see it, format it.

But when I log in XP (SP3), the new driver can not be see anywhere,

either in Disk Management or device manager.

 

Any suggestion ?

Is there any special driver for SATA? Shouldn't the driver come with

XP for the controller enough?

BTW, The driver is intel 8... something.
