Hello,
I forgot how to access the second hard drive on my computer and I can't find the tech who installed it. Any ideas; I know nothing about computers.

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 7.0

Hey, Pam,

If your drive is installed, you should have an icon for it in 'My Computer'. Just double-click it.
