I need a second virtual HD for XP. I made one using the VM client; there is already a 30GB expandable C drive. I need this to be the E drive. But I can't see where to set the drive letter like you did in Virtual PC, and WinXP doesn't recognize the new virtual HD anyway (yes I restarted Windows).
Adding 2nd virtual drive
- Thread starter forty2
- Start date
If you have it in your PD config area then you are all set and it's a XP issue.
Right click on my computer and select manage
Then click on disk management
There should be a Disk 1 there that is not assigned a drive letter or formatted
To format right click on it and select Fortmat - NTFS is better unless you need FAT and you can do a quick format too
If the drive does not become E then right click and select Change Drive letter and paths
Click change, select E from the drop down and then hit OK
That should take care of it.

You may also need to initialize
I had the exact same problem...in my case I first had to "initialize" the disk, then windows allowed me to format and assign a drive letter (same process as above, just choose initialize when you right click on the drive)...
Good luck
