I installed FreeNAS onto a computer which contains 2 hard disks.
It seems that I can not add the other harddisk onto my configuration.
When I boot up the computer, the BIOS reports 2 hard disks. When I install FreeNAS, the computer asks me which disk to install FreeNAS on, but when the install is ready, I am not able to add the other disk.
What do I have to do?

Do more reading because you should not be installing FreeNAS to any hard disk. It is meant to be run from a USB flash drive. Whatever disk you install FreeNAS to can't be used for storage. Please take a bit of time and read the documentation and don't just do it by the seat of your pants. You'll be much happiner understanding the product and knowing its best practices. That's a lot better than guessing how it "should" work, then being disappointed, asking basic questions covered in the documentation, and potentially losing data.
