hard drive reminder

| Can anyone help me with this hard drive probem please?
I have added a second eide hard drive onto eide channel one as the slave
drive. The master drive has 40GB, the second has 80GB. I am running
Windows xp pro.
After restarting the PC both drives are recognised in the BIOS and in Disk
Manager. The problem is that only half of the space on the second drive is
recognised, therefore I am missing 40GB of space.
LBA is enabled for the disk in the BIOS. The master drive is NTFS.
thanks in advance
Ed

| Have you FDISKED the new drive?
I recently had an 80 gig drive that kept formatting as 8 no matter what I
did or what computer I put it on. I finally used the disk that came with
the Maxtor drive to format it. I was impressed by how well the software
worked. It would have formatted it in just about any format that I wanted
including NTFS.

Did your new drive come with overlay software?
