Hi.
Try fdisk, then "change current fixed drive." You should see both drives.
It sounds like your second drive isn't partitioned. Be sure to change to
the second drive, then create a dos partition, most likely using 100%.
after exiting fdisk and rebooting, your computer should recognize the
second hard drive, but it will need to be formatted before it can be used.
hope this helps. Dean
