I'm assuming your using Windows. You can see the drives by double clicking "My Computer" on your desktop. From there you can double click on the drives to see the contents. If you can't see the other drive, make sure its installed properly.

My computer has all of your drives in your computer in the My Computer files. This can be accessed by going to start, my computer. Then you should see different drives like your hardware drives. Here you can access your program files and any floppy or USB drives you put into your computer.

The number of hard drives that can go in a desktop is more limited by the space you have within your computer's case and the number of ports on your motherboard rather than operating system limitations. I have heard that you can have up to 24 drives in Windows including internal and external drives. Right now, I have 5 drives attached to my desktop. To determine how many drives you can have in your desktop you should count up the number of SATA or IDE ports on your motherboard and count up the spaces in your computer case. Also, consider using external hard drives to increase your storage capacity.

The best secondary storage device that I have found is a Desktop External Drive. They are USB run and can easily be connected to the computer or disconnected. Pen or Thumb Drives do not have a large amount of space, like External Drives have, and Thumbs can be easily lost.
Portable hard drives work by interfacing with whichever computer they are connected to. In most cases, this connection is established by USB. Once the portable drives are connected they allow the user access to the data contained on it and the drive's storage capacity.
