I reinstalled XP on my desktop with two hard drives. Everything was fine
except when I deleted the partition of the main drive I didn't do it for the
other drive. So I reformatted the main drive I reinstalled XP on but not the
backup drive. When I go into Control Panel or System Information the drive
is there but I can't see/access the drive from My Computer.

Do I have to redo the whole thing????

And what does Disk Management reveal about the second drive?

This is what is says

It has disk 0 which is my C drive and disk 1 which is the backup drive. On
the C drive is says "Healthy (System)" but on the BackUp drive is says
"Healthy (Active). When I right-click on the Backup drive the only option it
gives me is the "Delete" and "Help". On the C drive it gives me "Open",
"Explore", "Change Drive Letter", "Help", and "Properties".
