Just upgraded my machine with 2 new HD s. a 120 Gb Seagate barracuda and an 80 Gb WD Caviare.
The big one is fine and running well; the system reports the 80Gb but it's not found in Windows. XP.
I want to partition the 120 Gb to run either win '98 or Linux (still not decided) and use the 80 for file storage etc.
How can I get the second HD on line/view?
Is it just a matter of FDISK ing and formatting from a boot disk? i only have a Win 98 Boot FD.

Right-Click 'My Computer' and select manage
Go down to 'Disk Mangement' and add the HD that way. I hope that helps.

Thanks but......... read on!
What a silly old f..t I am. I have had Partitiion Magic for about 6 months and never loaded it. Looked at the books and realised what i could do. Did it and it took all of 2 minutes to set up the partition ready for work!Quote:

Hi Cheeseman.
No, both set to cable select. That way no probs with which is which, top of the cable is top dog! Both are UDMA, 7200 rpm
I felt such a fool of course. I should have remembered sooner about P/magic!
