rds:
First of all I know nothing about the VBScript Ed Metcalf suggested to
resolve your problem. Perhaps Ed will respond to your latest query and
furnish add'l info about it. However, in the meantime...

You indicate that after installing "an additional hard drive and (USB?)
external hard drive", the system doesn't recognize these devices.

Can we assume you installed/connected these devices simultaneously or first
one, then the other?

Then you say "Both internal and external hard drives work just fine." I
assume you're referring to those two devices, yes?

So how do you know they "work just fine" if the system doesn't (apparently)
detect them?

I'm assuming this "additional hard drive" is an internal HDD, right?
Presumably you've partitioned/formatted this new internal HDD, yes? And
you're certain you've properly connected it to the system, right?

And the HDD contained in the (USB?) external enclosure has similarly been
partitioned/formatted, yes?

And there's no problem with your system when neither that "additional hard
drive" nor the external HDD is connected, right? The system boots without
incident and properly functions, yes?

Have you accessed Disk Management? What's the story there?
