- Sounds like you may have been "bitten" by an annoying OS/2 "feature" that I
- ran into... after installing a new (second) hard drive, I couln't find a way
- to "create" a drive icon for it.

- Someone was kind enough to send me email, suggesting that I open the "Drives"
- folder (and then select the "Arrange" option from the folder menu). Turns
- out that OS/2 DID create a drive icon, but it was placed out of plain sight
- in the folder.
