Actually, even if the partition is not formatted, it still should show
up as a drive under the OS. It will not show as a drive if the second
partition was not actually created as a DOS partition. That is, the
first partition was created but the rest of the disk space was left
unallocated. This does not seem to be the case here, so I don't know why
the second partition does not show up. Perhaps it would be appropriate
to find out what FDISK is reporting for the second partition.

I hope I'm not stating the obvious here, but clearly you must have
formatted the partition now known as C:.  Did you also format the second
partition?

Fdisk will recognize the partition and assign it a drive letter, but in
order to use it within the OS, you still need to partition it.
