In lamens terms this means a hard disk WHICH HE DOESN'T USE AS STARTUP HARD DISK...
DJKAL, congratulations, you just have formatted your startup drive....
---------------------
And DJKAL, if you asked for this, be SPECIFIC in the futur!!!!!! You explicitly said "second" hard drive, which can not be your startup drive....
If you were specific from the start I could have said from the beginning that you can not format the hard disk which you used to start up Windows (by the method I specified).

Then there is no reason what-so-ever why my instructions would not have worked at all (unless you did not follow them).
Reason being that what you did does exactly the same as what I've told you to do.
