No second HDD in Explorer

Have installed Windows-7 64 bit on my new 320GB HDD.
Have two HDD spindles, however, the Explorer does not show the second one.
Device driver does.

How can I fix this?

Go into Disk Management and assign a drive letter to that partition, then it will show up in Explorer.

Thanks, but,,,

Went into /control panel/Storage/Disk Manager/. Found the drive that does not
have drive letter assigned.
Tried to assign, the default was "H" which is the next letter of all used.
The message box said something like "This letter is used. Reset the letter anyway?"
Did it, but it was rejected.

My next option was to assign "I". the Response was "Invalid parameter".

There seems no way to give a letter.

Go into device manager and ensure that the device got installed correctly. Many times the problem is a bad driver that shows the device exists but wont let you access it. I am gonna suggest look for the most up to date driver.

Another suggestion would be to try more drive letters and see if for some reason they dont want you using the drive I. Let me know what you find out.

Ooops,

The letter "H" appered after a couple of minutes, on Explorer.
Thanks anyway.
