Need some help with some Vista64 things

I just installed Vista64 last night. It's a great OS and haven't had any problems but just a couple questions. I have an IDE harddrive installed. It sees it in device manager but how do I access it and read things off it? I have a bunch of music and apps and stuff that I had from my XP build and want to play music from it and such.

Also I have Realtek onboard hd audio and everytime I start up the computer, it loads up the Realtek audio manager and has to ask permission to open them. It stays on even when I unclick the little option to not pop-up every time.
 
Click the Start globe and type windows update in the search box, to run Windows Update. See if there's a new Realtek driver listed.

Regarding your missing drive, click Start and right-click on Computer, then choose Manage from the right-click menu, and Computer Management will open. In Computer Management, go down to Storage > Disk Management, and you should see your drives listed after a moment or two.

Right-click the white bar that represents the drive's capacity, and you can assign it a drive letter.

Click to expand...

Hmm I'm having a little trouble. It shows the drive as Dynamic and under it says it's invalid. Then when I right click on it and it says Convert to Basic and if I do that all data will be lost.

I have another 500GB SATA drive that I want to transfer all the data to.
