Thank you, Charlie.  Yes, BIOS detects it no problem.

 Thanks for the quick reply!
HarM:  Are you sure it would be /dev/hdc and not /dev/hdc1?  The HD is
partitioned into several volumes.  (I have tried mounting /dev/hdc,
/dev/hdc1, /dev/hdc2, etc. with no change.)  Plus DiskDrake still
doesn't  show me any tab for /dev/hdc.
Thanks very much for your help, folks!  Any other suggestions?

Have you run detect in set up (BIOS) before you let the system boot? 
Some
older hardware won't see any new drives unless you do so.

Mandrake is usually very good about detecting new drives but on older 
hardware
with older BIOS the system has to detect the drive first.
