A Problem with Adding 2nd Hard Drive to Windows 2000

Oh... I see what you mean... sorry... My CD already contained it! That was
the "registry adjuster" I was speaking of.

One more thing. Because of the struggles that I was having with my Dell
PowerEdge 500SC and this new Maxtor 200GB harddrive, I decided to install
this drive on my newest Dell Dimension desktop computer so that I could
transfer 100 GB of data over to this new drive.

That Dell Dimension desktop computer runs on Windows XP. Unlike the
PowerEdge 500SC, the Dell Dimension recognized the new Maxtor 200GB
immediately. I then used the Windows XP -> My Computer -> Manage ->
Partition hard drive. It formatted the drive fully.

Next, I transferred all of the necessary 100 GB over to this new drive (IT
TOOK HOURS!!!). Afterwards, I removed this drive from the desktop computer
as I plan to re-install it in my Dell PowerEdge 500SC.

My question is, when I re-install this 200GB HD to my 500SC, and use the
MaxBlast 4 software, would I be able to keep all these data? Or, do I have
to re-format, re-partition, re-copy the 100GB of data again?

MaxBlast won't do any more than what you've already done using Disk
Management on Windows XP. Are you sure you're not trying to boot from
the Maxtor drive?
