Hello,

I just installed a secondary hard drive and set it to slave, its wiped clean
and has no OS on it. I install it on my machine and XP recognizes it and
installs it just fine, however its not listed as an additional drive in the
listing on My Computer. However, its listed under disk drives in Device
Manager and is showing as working properly. Am I missing anything here?

Thanks
MIchael
 
I have also just installed a second 80GB HDD in an acer
machine and although listed in the BIOS it does not show
up in Explorer. It is listed under Disk Management
as 'Disk 1 unknown not initialized'. Any ideas?
 
Did you assign it a drive letter?

Go back into Disk Management and assign it one!
