Right now, i have 2 HDs, i have a Maxtor 51536u3 (15 gb), and a Maxtor 91366u4 (13 gb). If i go into My Computer, it shows me as having 2 partitions, one with 6.35 gb, and the other with 6.34. It seems like one is partitioned, and the other isnt available. Both of the HDs are installed, and say they are working properly. I would like to be able to use my 2nd harddrive, any tips?

Try unplugging one and if if want boot try the other one. You may only be running on only one.

Are you sure you partitioned your second drive? Look in Disk Manager (in Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management) to ensure that it is. If not, then partition it and format the disk (i'd suggest using NTFS). This can be done within the Disk MAnagement software, and shouldn't require a restart.
