Dave,

You may need tom run FDISK and partition the drive and then format.

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
