1) Install second harddisk with slave jumper set.
2) use fdisk to partition. a) choose option 5 "change to drive #" to change to second drive.
b) use option 4 to make sure your going to be working on correct drive.
c) use option 1 to establish the first partition by choosing option 1.1 create primary partition
d) then use option 2 to set this partition active
e) use option 1 option 1.2 to create extended partition if needed and define any needed logical drives.
f) exit fdisk and reboot3) first partition of drive two will become drive d: (old d: will become e:) if initial harddisk had c: d: e: then first drive will now have c: e: f:. And if second hardisk has also 3 partitions then it's parttitons will be d: g: h:. Format d: g: and h:

hope this helps
