Oh yeah, I've learned that. :-)
Any way to get rid of it and get access to the secondary
drive again?

They're Maxtor hard drives so I believe I used the
MaxBlast software.

Fdisk says that the second hard drive contains a non-
DOS
type
partition.

That typically happens when a third-party BIOS overlay
program is used
to allow access to a hard drive that is larger than
what
the computer
can actually support.

Were you using any such software on the old hard drive
(the one that
died)? Common names for this include MaxBlast,
EZDrive,
and Disk
Manager and they usually announce themselves during the
boot process,
just before the Windows startup splash screen appears.
