When adding another HD, it does NOT add to the capacity of the 1st HD. It is
just another disk/drive to where you can store progs and data.
If you just added the new drive, you have to partition and format it before
use. Start->Run-> diskmgmt.msc and look for unused space in graphical area,
then RClick on it and choose New partition (or was it Add...).
It will create a new "disk" as seen in My Computer, most likely at letter E:
(if you now have C: and CD-drive as E).
