Adding a second hard drive

Hi all,

I have a second hard drive installed and in the Dell BIOS its seen as a 40
Gig hard drive which is correct.

The system runs Debian Woody with kernel 2.4.17

When I try to partition the second hard drive using cf disk, all I see is
the first hda drive...no sign at all of the second.

cfdisk /dev/hdb and cfdisk /dev/hdd both report "FATAL ERROR: Cannot open
disk drive"

What do I need to do to partition and format the second drive?

Thanks in advance,

Patrick
