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

[Loren Moline WA7SKT]

Dave,

Run FDISK....it should see it. I do not believe it will show on My Computer 
until it has been partitioned and formatted. If the bios sees it then its 
working but not valid drive yet.

    Sounds about right, but if I can't "see" the drive, how do I set the 
command to do that? I don't know if the drive is 'F', 'G', or what.
