Hard Drive install issues

[Kristen]

On my old computer had one hard drive running windows
2000 professional and one for just data. I bought a new
computer that with Windows XP Professional with a new
drive as a master hard drive(40gig), setting the old hard
drive as a slave(80 gig). The old HD is NTFS, in computer
managment it is showing as active and healthy, The only
option that I get is to Delete the Partition. I need the
data that is on the old drive.

Anyone have any ideas of how to get this to work??

Thanks

What do you see when you look at it in windows explorer.should show up like
the main drive and you copy and past your files to new drive.

The only place that I can see the drive is when I got to
Disk Managment and I can't do anything with it. I looked
under windows explorer and it doesn't show there either.
Only the drives that are orginal to the machine are
showing. I don't to lose the data, but I can't use it
either. It is totally frustrating.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Kristen
Do you have Tweak UI installed. If so open it and look for my computer and
click the plus sign and click drives and make sure you have a check mark for
the drive you want. Hope this helps.
