Hi Michael, What OS are you running on that machine?
If you are running Win2K or WinXP, then I can't help too much. Under Win95/98/Me you could drop to a command line, and run fdisk to recreate the partition on the second drive as a FAT partition, and then format it... it should then reappear in windows. Under NT4, there is an option in the Administritave Tools menu called Disk Administrator, which will show you the partitions and disks in your machine, and you can then choose to repartition (I believe) and reformat the disk/partition. I have had the pleasure of NOT being exposed to Win2K and XP, so I can't help you if you are running either of those.
