I have added a second hard drive .I just plugged it in and XP recognized it but it does not show when I click on "explore".I can't figure out how to use it.Any tips on adding and using a second hard drive or slave would be greatly appreciated.
 
Did you set it up in the bios?
 
You need to format it. Right-click on My Computer and click Manage. Click on Disk Management, Find your new drive, right click and select create partition. Once its done, right click and create a logical drive.
 
OK, I'll try that but I think it's already formatted.Thanks.
 
While you are in disk management make sure it has been assigned a drive letter.
 
It is not assigned a drive letter and I was unable to assign it a letter. There is an option "create logical drive", should I click on that?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
