Hi Dan, Sorry it has taken me a while to respond. I've done what you requested. I downloaded Ubuntu 8.10, created and booted from the .iso image disk and ran gparted.
The results are no different than before - I can only see the first drive /dev/sda (and it's two partitions). I cannot see the other drive (which has the room to install Ubuntu). I am puzzled as to why Windows can see it but Ubuntu can't. What could be THAT different? Thanks for trying - your follow-up thoughts appreciated.
