Robert:

Just re-partition your new, second hard drive as
an extended DOS partition, using FDISK from
Win95.

I recommend you NOT enable large drive partitions
(i.e., FAT32) if your primary hard drive is not also
FAT32. I rcommend keeping them FAT16 with logical
drives less than 1Gigabyte.

Cordially,
