Added a second Drive...how do I map it?
I have 2 sata hard drives in my system, but XP only sees the one. BIOS sees both.
I did this once a while back, something to do with mapping I can't remember and my searches come up with nothing. How do I add the 2nd drive?

Now you have to create an extended partition and then format the partition in order for Windows to use the hard drive.
