The 2TB drive IS there, its /dev/sdb.  It has a 1.8TiB partition.

When you start cfdisk, you need to specify the disk to use as a command line
parameter.  It defaults to /dev/sda, which is why you are only seeing that
disk.  Thats all it was!


Start cfdisk like this

/sbin/cfdisk /dev/sdb

or
sudo /sbin/cfdisk /dev/sdb

However you start it, ALL you need to do is just add /dev/sdb as a parameter.
and you'll be editing /dev/sdb.

Alternatively, you can try GParted.

I suspected that it was something like that.
