Default Adding additional hard drive

I added an additional hard drive to windows98 SE. It is jumpered as a slave.
When I go into windows, it does not show. Is there anything that I need to
configure to view it? Thanks.

Did you fdisk/format it? Use the drive manufacturer's supplied disk?

The disk does not show up when I use FDISK. It does show up in the bios. This
drive already has data on it formatted as "Fat". Any thoughts?

If the disk does not appear at all when you start FDISK then it's not
properly installed, despite the BIOS information.

If it appears in FDISK but with no partitions and/or no free space then it
has been partitioned in a way that FDISK doesn't recognise. For instance,
it might have been partitioned in a system where the physical-to-logical
drive mapping was different, such as LARGE instead of LBA.

The manufactured supplied disk fixed the problem. Thanks.
