Have you formatted the second drive? Start >> Control panel >> Administrative Tools >> Computer Management select Disk Management, you can format the drive from there!
You will need to initiate your new hard drive in the Disk Management console. You should see all of your drives at the bottom, with coloured bars going across. You need to right click the new drive and select initiate. Right click the drive again and select new partition. A wizard will begin and guide you though the next steps. Once you have partitioned the drive, you will need to format it. Right click your new partition and select format
thanks for all your replys the drive is now working and it was exactly what you said thank you again thank you all sorted now
