Slave drive in Windows Explorer

[Doug Main]

Have added a slave drive...the boot sequence picked it up, the device
manager sees it ok and says it's "working properly" but I can't access
it via Win Explorer since it doesn't show up there.

Any suggestions?

thnx

This sounds as if you have not made and formatted any 'partition' on it
for use by the system. Control Panel - Admin Tools - Computer
Management, select Disk Management and look lower right for the graphic
of the drive. R-click in Unallocated space, Create Partition, going on
to Format. Have a quick think fist to see if it might be a good idea to
split it in two; probably not on a second drive, but think before
committing
