Comment: All: I bought a 40gb AT100 hard drive and unsuccessfully getting win2k to detect it. It doesn't have "fdisk" to format the new hard drive. Is there a way to install a second hard drive as 'slave' in window 2000? I know I can do it in win95/98. But win2k is different. Any help would be appreciated. thanks.. sam

Reply: (edit)Assuming you have the drive set up for slave and connected properly, log on as administrator, go to Control Panel -> Admin Tools -> computer Mgmt -> Storage -> Disk Mgmt. You should see all your drives listed here. Right click your new drive to select create new partition, format and drive letter options.

Reply: (edit)Re: Mark Now that is the problem. When I connected every properly, ie. the old drive as Master and the new drive as slave, and then turned the computer on it just hanged there. The bios detected the master drive but hanged on the slave drive. I could not get pass this screen. So how do I get pass this first boot up problem.. sam
