Hi, OK before my PC did see both. Second hard drive is just to put files and stuff on. OS is on my first drive. It just seem to happen. I checked in the BIOS and it see it. And in Device Manager it is listed and says it is working properly. So I do get it. What else should I do?

Does Disk Management see the drive?

OK I went into Control Panel, System, Click tab Hardware, Clicked Device Manager, then Disk Drives, Both drives are there. Thenright clicked My second HD Then Properties. Then clicked Tab named Volumes. And then clicked Populate. It said " Disk: Disk 1 Type: unknown Status: Not Initialized Partion Style: Not Applicable Capacity: 238..... Unallocated Space: 238... Reserved Space: 0 And were it says Volumes that box is empty."
It is suppose to be NTFS format. But I tried something and used another os (Ubuntu) and it saw theother drive but as scsi. Now I have a big question mark over my head.
