Allan.... Agreed BUT it's not there or anywhere else except in Device manager and CMOS.Joe - I BELIEVE you, don't get me wrong. But could you possibly post a screen shot of Disk Management?At the bottom - Disk 1 unknown & UNALLOCATED. That's your new drive. Right click on it and FORMAT it.Bingo ! !Oh boy, color me stupid. I kept looking at that, staring right at the indicated "drive 1" designation, knowing full well that my "C" drive was "drive 0" but the meaning of it all never dawned on me. All I could think of was that I certainly didn't want to chance messing up my "C" drive.

Just had a back operation and apparently the pain pills are affecting my thoughts, logic, whatever. Hard to believe that I looked right thru that. Well, you know what Red Forman calls his son Eric!(grin)

I truly appreciate you fellows sticking with me throughout this problem. It looks like all is well now as the SATA 80GB drive is showing up listed as my new "D" drive. Thanks again.
You're welcome.Good News INDEED Joe...
Best of luck with the medical condition and STOP by anytime !
