[Ham-Computers] Added second hard drive, but.........

[Dave 'Doc' Corio]

Just added a second SATA hard drive to my Gateway Core Duo PC and Win XP 
Pro, but I can't seem to find it. When I first booted up, I got the 
little message that reported that it had found new hardware (disk drive) 
But can't find it in My Computer or Explorer. In Control 
Panel/System/Hardware I can see it listed, and it shows working fine, 
but cannot find it in order to format it and use it. It also shows up in 
the BIOS no problem.

Only thing I can think of is that I plugged it into the SATA port on the 
motherboard immediately adjacent to the primary hard drive port. Could 
it be that I need to rrelocate that, or am I simply missing something 
painfully obvious? I rebooted a second time, but did not get the "new 
hardware" notification, and still can't see the drive.

Thanks in advance es 73
