Installed 2nd hard drive and icon appeared in My Computer. Then it
disappeared. System shows new hard drive installed and working
properly. How do I get it to appear in My Computer page? Tnx

Did you partition and format this new hard drive?

Right click on My Computer and select Manage. On the following screen,
click on Disk Management. Partition, Format and assign the new drive a
letter. Only then will it be visible in Windows Explorer.

Yes, Fedora 6 is installed on it. (But I can't get it to boot!)

Tnx, shows two partitions healthy and active. Already installed Fedora 6
(linux) -- nothing in screen to format and assign drive new letter. Tnx
