use fdisk to partion the drive, then format. also make sure u set up the jumpers correctly, and set it up in bios, detect all drives

What operating system do you currently have that you want to add this second harddrive?

xp :)

Connect the drive as a slave then boot up Windows and go to:
Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk Management.
You will see that you have all the tools to partition and format you drives right there. There are wizards and help to guide you.
