Hi Keith, Sean is right, even though the BIOS sees it and the post menu shows it, the 95 won't display it if no partition has been created on it. USE FDISK at a DOS prompt to create a partition. Just make sure you switch to the correct drive before playing with the settings too much. <g> Richard

Re: FDISK on second disk. Tip: If you already have first drive partitioned into more than one drive letter (that is you have a primary and an extended partition), be sure to only put an extended partition on the second drive. If you put a primary partition on it it will have drive letter assignment priority over any logical drive letters in the extended partition on the first drive. For example, he second drive will grab the D: drive letter if it has a primary partition which will not be what you want if you already have apps installed on the current D:. Best, Jimmy Liberato
