No, you do NOT use FDISK. You just set the jumper on the second hard disk
to S(lave)

Andy,
Don't get confused with the size of HD that DOS can recognize and the size of
HD that the BIOS can recognize. If you are running the 32-bit version of

As I wrote previously, I have two HD's on my P7

Hi Andy,
I believe that it is the BIOS that determines the maximum size HD you can
