This is because Windows has not rescanned the SCSI bus.  To force a
rescan, open a command prompt, then type "diskpart" and then "rescan".

This works because it adds an entirely new SCSI controller.

This is probably some oddity of Windows, which forces a rescan of all
SCSI buses when a new controller is hot-plugged---or something like that.
