My system had 5 hard rives in it. I purchased a couple of new hard drives to increase storage capacity and performance. During the process of installing them and moving files around and for no apparent reason, one of the WD 1TB hard drives changed its

configuration from normal to EISA. Of course, I could no longer access this drive using explorer and was forced to kill the partition and reformat the hard drive. How does this happen and how can the configuration be changed back so that one doesn't have to

loose all the files on the hard drive. If windows can arbitrarily configure it for EISA there should be a way to change it back.Dalton Seymour
