XP Home with SATA & IDE drives

[Annie]

System is ASUS ASN-SLI Deluxe
ATHLON64
2 SATA drives on C+D

I am _trying_ to retrieve information from a WD 313600. It is
connected to the IDE slot on the board and Windows recognizes it as a
PNP and it shows in Device Manager, says it is working properly and
also says that the driver is the latest so I shouldn't update it.
Here's the BUT

It doesn't show in Explorer or My Computer, so I can't copy the files
to the SATA drives and be rid of IDE. I have moved the jumpers around
in a vain.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

TIA
Annie

Check in Disk Management and assign a drive letter.

ControlPanel/Administrative Tools/Computer
Management/Storage/DiskManagement

Thanks, but it is showing as unallocated 0 partitions. I'm working
this out now.
