Apparently you have created a primary partition on the 1.2 gig drive, assuming
that you don't yet have any substantial amount of data on the thing yet the cure
is rather easy (you'll need to back up anything you have on it first):  use FDISK
to remove all partitions from the drive and then create an EXTENDED partition. 
This will mean that you won't be able to boot from that disk, but when added as a
second drive in the system it will appear after all the partitions on the first
drive instead of as D:
