Delay in displaying all drives in Explorer

[Craig Hulett]

A friend of mine recently added a new hard-drive to his XP Home system and
is noticing a curious behaviour. When he opens Windows Explorer, it will
initially only display the original C: drive and then pause for around 20
seconds before the new drive (and the rest of the items) show up in the
list. He has no issues that he is aware of accessing the drive and both are
formatted as NTFS. They are cabled up in the normal master / slave manner,
separate from his CDROM. I couldn't find anything in the Knowledge Base
that seemed to match his symptoms. Any ideas?

Has he got power management enabled for the 2nd drive? Perhaps it's spun
down?
