    Friends: My computer has two 80 GB hard drives, running Windows XP Pro. Both show up in BIOS as 80 GB each. The primary (bootable) one shows up as 80 GB in My Computer and works fine. The secondary one shows up in Disk Management as 7.41 GB and as not initialized. Initialization does not change anything. Does not show up at all in My Computer. Shows up in Device Manager but the slot for enable/disable is grayed out. How do I fix this? Worked fine before. Thanks for any help.
