Bios and Device manager can see slave drive but not windows explorer?

Hello,
I had two win 2000 machines both running fine and I needed to get rid of one, so I moved it's second HD to my other win 200 machine as a primary slave. The drive seemed to go in fine, and the Bios had no problem detecting it. I can also see the drive with the windows device manager. But for some reason explorer can not see it. Is there some permissions issue since I brought it over from another win2000 machine? Any clues on how to make this drive visible? By the way, win explorer shows the C drive and runs fine, and shows the first CDrom as E, so it is like it knows it's there (as D), just blocking me from seeing it? Thanks.
 
Try Disk Management,

rescan the drive, if it is a dynamic disk you will have to import the disk. after you do that it will show up as Healthy, or should anyway baring any physical problems with the disk
