I had the same problem before.  To get around it, you will need to re-FDISK
your second drive.  You will have to remove the primary partition and create
the whole second drive extended partition.  Then DOS FDISK will assign the
correct logical drives to that disk.  (i.e. Your first disk will have C: D:
E: ...etc and your second should have ..F: G: ...Z: ;-)

Good Luck
