What you could try...
Get your windows XP cd, boot up to the setup, go to your partition manager, then, if it's detected you should see extra drives (your 400 GB's.). Just press C, create a raw partition on each one. Quit, reboot into your windows. Then it should be there..

well when i installed windows(i just did it now lol) it did see the other one, so i should go ahead and create a partition?

Yeah, just don't Format it. Otherwise you'd be installing another instance of Windows.
