It is years since I needed to fdisk a drive - are you really SURE that there is not an option to set which physical drive to work on BEFORE starting the actual fdisk procedure? If the drive is not being recognised at all on start up (which has its own set of trouble shooting procedures) then of course the second drive won't be there for fdisk to play with.

Also - in the modern BIOS, there is often an auto detect - which if you set the BIOS to give you verbose text messages on boot-up - which will tell you if it is seeing and recognising the drive (and what it is) or not. Also - depending on the age of the BIOS you may have to muck around with LBA settings to talk to a 120 Gb drive....

Sorry about the string comment before... one of the Fooles Troupe got access to the PC...
