Installing second hard drive
Hello Ken,
If it is a new hard disk then don't you think that he may need to create partitions first and then format them. I mean how someone can format an Unalloactted Space. Let me know!

Explorer won't see it until you do that. Good answer ( I think), Ken. However, the only way I know how to format a drive is by typing "Format 'letter' " Can you instruct me how to format this drive? Go Start | Programs | Administrative tools | Computer Management | Disk Management. Click the drive, then right-click it and choose Format. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup
