Two thoughts:

1) On your Linux box, issue a 'df' command.  That's for "disk free" or
something.  It shows you disk usage.  See if your other drive is
listed as /dev/sdb or sdc or thereabouts.

2) Put some large files in the /home/extended, and then check your
free space on /home again.  If it didn't go down, then you know that
whatever you're using to check it isn't including that other drive,
right?
