installing second hard drive

The disk needs to be partitioned first in order to be used
Open disk administrator under programs / administrative tools, it should show the current c: hd and the new unpartitioned space
Click on a free area and choose Partion / create, once created, you should (Tools / format)format that partition and assign a drive letter to it from the same menu.
Once these steps are completely, the disk should apperas under "My Pc" and in the explorer

First installing the hard drive,
Take the drive out the case and look at top of drive and check the pin configuration,set the pin at the back of drive as slave per the diagram
Reinstall the drive in system and reboot the computer and at the startup screen press the key to enter the CMOS panel to BIOS configuration,check the list for the drives listed and set the drive configuration to AUTO,exit and save configuration,Reboot computer and check to see if both are listed
If the system boots up,double-click on My Computer on the desk top,in the open window,right-click the D:drive and select format from the list,this will format the drive with the file system.
Now set the drive up as you wish

Run FDisk and use that to partition the second hard disk before doing anything else. This will also check that the o/s can see the second disk at the lowest level.

If disk administrator can't see it and the bios does, the jumpers are wrong! 100% your running one of the best win ver, and disk administrator will do every thing execept
set the jumpers . So check the manuals, or if you don't have them the drivemanufactures post them on there internet sites
( I run multiboot system just to keep it around ) I hope this help's
