Server 2003: Adding second hard drive. Lockout? Security Risk?

TwiceOver

So I have Server 2003 setup here at home. I finally got all the settings the way I want and everything is running smooth. I decided to add a second drive I had laying around, a 120gb WD and for some reason the OS doesn't show the drive in My Computer. The drive is recognized under the BIOS, Device Manager, and is seen by any of the controllers I have onboard. Also WD tools can see the drive just fine via the floppy disk.

So my question is, is there some sort of lock out? I could see this as a potential security risk, but there has to be a way....

How about going into Disk Management and partition/format it, then assign drive letters: 1000 words with the general idea.

Thanks, didn't think about that, though I don't want to format it as it has good stuff on it. The drive is already partitioned NTFS and ready to go with stuff on it.
 
Duh... I feel stupid.

I had to set the drive as "Active" then assign it a drive letter. Kinda figures that it wouldn't be automatic. Thanks for the tip, I don't really know why I didn't think of this the first time.
