Data cannot be accessed on a slave drive after
reinstalling XP on the master drive.

My first hard drive kept rebooting itself abruptly...so I
have installed a brand new hd and installed XP Pro SP1a
on it. (same as the old drive)...I have the new drive
jumpered as master, old as slave. Bios sees it; XP kinda
sees the slave - just doesn't see all the data.
Both drives are Western Digital...why is it not showing
my data on the slave? Thanks

You did say that the original drive was acting strange, did you not? That's
why you installed a new drive. It could well be that you will never be able
to see what is on the old drive. If you delete the partition on the old
drive, then create and format a new partition, it may at least be usable.

If the old disk is unuseable then why am I able to boot
up with it (single drive) and see all my data? I'm
suspecting there is problem with the paging space on the
old drive...I just want to move my data off the old drive
onto the new one...I do not have a tape backup to
transfer stuff easily. I do not understand why the new
drive cannot see the slave data - it sees the drive, just
not the data.

Hi

If the data on the slave drive is valuable, I would suggest you to hand it to a data recovery company. You may have a chance to recover your data files but may not be 100%.

You DIDN'T SAY that you could still boot from it. Christ, why can't some of
you stupid people give all the information the first time?

Hmm interesting reply...why did you bother even replying
when it's even more obvious that you are just as stupid
cos you have no answer!
ANd Christ has no part in it cos He knows more than you
will ever know or care to know... Please go crawl back
under the rock from which you came and spew your filth
somewhere else. Cheers

I did reply, to his original post, where he DID NOT say that the drive was
still bootable. All he said was the drive kept crashing on him.

Hold on, hold on....before things get out of hand, could someone please
answer the original question? I'm trying to help a friend out and need to
figure this out too.

TIA!

Re-use a failing HD? Geez, that's sadistic advice :-)
