Wayne,

It's very suspicious that FDISK cannot see the SCSI, since you are able to boot from
that SCSI, right? If you disconnect the IDE and use the diskettes, or better yet, boot to
OS/2 from the SCSI, what does FDISK then say?

Wayne,
If you set the SCSI drive to be the boot drive in your BIOS, then FDISK will see the IDE
drive as the second hard drive. That's the way it should work! I am a little puzzled,
however, because your FDISK query should have shown you both hard drives. I have
2 hard drives on my system and FDISK has always shown them. I bet you did not fully
reconnect your SCSI drive (like maybe forgot a cable connection or the power cable)
