If this has already been posted here or should be in the Windows section then I APOLOGIZE.  I have run into all sorts of posts with people having this problem but none of the solutions work for me.
So I just installed a second HD on my comp.  120gb Seagate as a slave to the 40gb Seagate that is in 2 partitions.  I initialized it and formatted it using fdisk to give it Fat32 partitioning.. it didn't show up in my computer but i can still browse to it and put a shortcut to it on my desktop.  FIGURED maybe since it wasn't formatted in Windows then maybe I'd do that.  Reformatted and partitioned it in NTFS and got it online with a drive letter and all.  Can still explore it or open it but it still won't show up in my computer.
My primary drive is drives C & D
DVD-rw is E
CD-rw is F (also doesn't show up in my computer)
New HD is G (not showing up)
Did i mess up because i installed the 2nd cd rom drive at the same time?  I've READ where people say to give the hard disks lower drive letters but I can't figure out how to reassign the drive letters on the optical drives.

If someone knows a solution to this then PLEASE let me know because it's driving me nuts.  I don't want to be stuck with just a shortcut to my brand spanking new drive on the desktopYou can reassign drive letters from the same area where you reformatted the Hard Disk Drives with NTFS.I can SEE how you right-click on the hard drive (from disk management) and reassign drive letters but can't figure out how to do it for the Removable storage where it lists the cd and dvd drives.  I can open it up in properties and see what drive letter it's assigned too but it won't let me change it.  Any ideas on how to change the removable drive letters?
