Installing secondary hard drive for storage

t0pD4wG · Sep 28, 2004, 07:45 PM

I just recently added a maxtor 80 gb hard drive to my system for more syorage, actually to put my games on. widows reads it as drive F: but when i install my call of duty game and try to play it i get the following error "codmp.exe is not a valid win32 application" What am i doing wrong the drive is setup for additional storage i did a clean install on my western digital 40gb hard drive. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

How did you format the drive when you first installed it into the computer?
