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

[Philip, KO6BB]

When you bought the drive you should have received a set-up disk containing 
"utilities" for prepping the drive for use.  I did with both of my Western 
Digital drives as well as the Seagate 320GB external drive.  The Western 
Digital are SATA drives and the external drive a USB (probably IDE in a 
outboard USB case).
