Final answer:
The co-worker forgot to format, partition, and initialize the second hard drive.
Therefore, the correct options are:
A. Format the drive
B. Partition the drive
D. Initialize the drive
Step-by-step explanation:
A hard drive is installed in a fixed drive bay either by sliding the drive into the bay and securing it by inserting screws through the chassis and into the drive or by attaching drive rails to the drive and sliding the drive and rail assembly into channels in the chassis.
The three best answers to the question are:
- Format the drive: A newly installed hard drive needs to be formatted before it can be used. Formatting prepares the drive for data storage and creates the necessary file system. This can be done using the Disk Management tool in Windows.
- Partition the drive: Partitioning allows the drive to be divided into separate sections, each with its own drive letter. This can be done using the Disk Management tool as well.
- Initialize the drive: Initializing the drive is necessary to make it usable. This can also be done in Disk Management.
Once these steps are completed, the second hard drive should be visible in Windows Explorer.
