2nd Drive Recognition in WindowsXP

[Snowbear]

I have installed a second drive in my computer and WindowsXP does not seem to recognize it. This is not a new project for me; I have installed a second drive many times but I have never had the problem before.

When I enter the BIOS, I can see the drive there and when I am in Windows, I can go to [start]/Programs/accessories/system tools/(I can't remember the other link) and I can see the hard drive listed there. When I open MY COMPUTER I can not see the drive. I can not save to the second drive, either.

Any Ideas? You can answer through this forum or email me at my yahoo.com account under my user name lrgardner2003.

Hi and welcome. You need to format the drive.

Use disk management and format it from there.
