Re: secondary hard drive undetected

Dear rob,

I'm no expert but you could look at the drive in Control Panel /
Administrative Tools / Computer Management / Disk Management and set
the drive as having:

1. A valid partition
2. Its formatted (NTFS)
3. It has a logical drive letter. D ??

Hope that helps,

Re: secondary hard drive undetected

If you used the software named Wipe, it would have cleaned off the drive so
you will need to partition it and then format the partitions.
