I tried this, but there is no graphic for the new drive. I tried
running Rescan Disks, but still no luck. Does this mean that my drive
is not installed properly, or could there be another reason this second
drive is not being displayed? Does it matter which SATA data slot I'm
using, e.g., must I use 0 and 1 before I use 2 or 3? Also, does the
boot drive have to be on a lower number than this second drive? Do I
need to tell the BIOS/set up program to look for a new drive?
Thanks for any tips,

Ken
