Adding a second HDD...problems
Discussion
I've got another HDD I have tried putting in my desktop machine. It connects fine, spins up OK, windows detects it as new hardware and identifies it alright, but there's no increase in capacity when I go to my computer/C:/properties.
I think I've jumpered it OK, original as master, new one as slave, although I'm not 100% on this as there are loads of options on the original compared to the new one.
Any thoughts? Do I need to do something in the F2 boot setup?
Any help gratefully recieved!

(assuming Windows)
right click on My Computer
> Manage
From the Computer Management
> Select Disk Management
Do you see more than one hard disk listed ?
You will also no get more capacity on c: - if you can see the disk in the disk management - right click (be sure its the new one) and click format - follow through the menu to format and select a drive letter - you should then be able to use the new disk as additional space - albeit on a different drive letter.
