W98 doesn't recognize 2nd HDD

[PCKlutz]

I need some help. I installed a NEW second HDD as a secondary master. I have two CD drives as slaves. This worked with the OLD second HDD. the new HDD is recognized in BIOS after auto-detect and it shows up in Device Manager. But Windows Explorer, etc., do not see it. What idiotic thing did I do and how do I correct it?

Has it been partitioned and formatted?

Thanks for the reminider. I formatted with EZBios, but I did not load EZBios to the C drive in order to access the new drive. Problem solved.

If your BIOS does not recognise the full capacity of your HDs, then you are better getting a BIOS update or using a PCI Controller card (www.promise.com) to solve the problem.

Drive Overlays like EZ-BIOS are not recommended and can cause "major" problems in the future.

Thanks for the heads up. This second HDD is mainly for storing temporary files, and its use is not critical.
