Virgin slave drive connected. Where in Win2k do you set it up, have forgotten

Thought somewhere in system management, but can't seem to find it...

I thought hard drives were configured through BIOS/CMOS?

There's some disk manager doohickey that lets you make partitions, IIRC. If not grab a copy of PartitionMagic.

Hobo, I think he's talking about partitioning and formatting
