Ok, I have two hard drives, "A" and B. "A" is my Windows XP OS and apps, "B" is storage. I "think" both drives were NTFS. I installed a new motherboard and processor, and couldn't get XP to boot, and after many hours of frustration, I reinstalled windows on "A" and it works fine and files are there. "B", however, shows up in My Computer as 0 bytes used, 0 bytes free, and file system RAW. If I try and open it, it says the drive is not formatted, would you like to format it now? What do I do do? This has about 100GB of crucial data, how do I read it? Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Ok I just opened up Partition Magic and Drive "B" is showing up as 160GB NTFS Primary. Does it matter that drive "A" is primary too?

Have you installed SP1 yet for your XP installation?
Might be the 130gb limitation.

*sigh* Sometimes I amaze myself with my own stupidity. Yes thank you, that worked.
