Hi,
        You didn't mention two things.  Number 1:  was the Samasung the second
drive in the other computer when you installed disk danager?  Maybe
something didn't get installed onto this computer (it is possible that part
of the disk manager was placed on the primary (boot) drive.  This shouldn't
cause the CMOS not to see it (though read the instructions for the disk
manager, there might be a specific setting you need in the CMOS).  That
leads us to number 2:  can the other computer still see the hard drive.  I
have had problems with the Samsung 4.3 before, and it is possible that it
has gone bad.

HTH,
Donald Gaither
