The system specs state maximum HD size is 240GB. I have two 160GB hard
drives. Only one of them is seeen in Windows server 2003. The bios
sees both - one as primary master the other as Primary Slave.
Any leads on how to anable both?

Does fdisk see it?

Did you partition (with fdisk) and format the second drive?

You partition it using fdisk, you need to run format afterwards.

Do the drives show in Disk Management? (right click my computer, choose
Manage)

They should be there, one will probably show as unformatted, right click on
it and chose Format
