Adding additional hard drive
I added an additional hard drive to windows98 SE. It is jumpered as a slave.
When I go into windows, it does not show. Is there anything that I need to configure to view it? Thanks. Mitch |

Did you fdisk/format it? Use the drive manufacturer's supplied disk? -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.05... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

The disk does not show up when I use FDISK. It does show up in the bios. This
drive already has data on it formatted as "Fat". Any thoughts? Mitch "dadiOH" wrote: mitch wrote: I added an additional hard drive to windows98 SE. It is jumpered as a slave.

If the disk does not appear at all when you start FDISK then it's not
properly installed, despite the BIOS information. If it appears in FDISK but with no partitions and/or no free space then it has been partitioned in a way that FDISK doesn't recognise. For instance, it might have been partitioned in a system where the physical-to-logical drive mapping was different, such as LARGE instead of LBA. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "mitch" wrote in message ...

The manufactured supplied disk fixed the problem. Thanks.
