In 2nd hdd make primary Drive & other logical Drives. That way its perfect.

I will recommend you to make one primary partition even though its your second HDD.

i think ur hard disk's MBR has corrupted...thats why it is not getting detected...so i will recommend u to delete all partitions n recreate them by using Norton Partition Magic...jst try it....hope it will work fyn after dat.....

mbr is created when u create 1st partition on blank hdd...whether u r using norton partition magic or windows disk management utility it is not important....but as u r saying dat disk management utility is not doing well...so i recommended norton partition magic...jst del all ur partition.....n recreate it by usin it....hope it will work...
