At a command prompt, type FDISK
See if you have four OR FIVE options.
If the second drive is being recognized by
"the system", there should be an option to
"Change current fixed disk drive".
"One" would be the current disk drive,
and you DO NOT want  "One" in your case!!!
Change to "two", and start from the next menu.
The SAFEST way to Fdisk, is to remove all
drives you want to keep "as is"  from the system.
That means some jumper changing, possible BIOS
changes for the hard drives, and booting from
a Start-up disk.  If you are careful, the "easy" way
should be "good enough"...      Rick Glazier
