First you will need to partition the drive and format then you would need to add the drive to the /etc/fstab. Just like on metal.

Just because CentOS is running in VirtualBox, not all problems are VirtualBox related. This is one of those problems, treat it as a CentOS problem. Have you tried searching for "CentOS second hard drive" ?

Hi Socratis,
I am sorry to bother on that. I will try to sort it out with CentOS forum.
Thanks for quick replies,

Oh, there's nothing to apologize for. It's simply a fact of life that almost all new VirtualBox users tend to think that every problem they have is due to VirtualBox. We usually help (like Perryg's advice), but we also remind them that, sometimes you have to think of your virtual problem as you would for a real computer...
