Please help - missing disk question

[elwood03]

I just replaced my boot drive with a new Seagate Baracuda and left my slave (another Baracuda) alone. I reinstalled WinXP and now the slave drive (with all my data!) doesn't appear in "My Computer". It appears in the BIOS and in the Device Manager also. When I looked at the information in the device manager, and it lists it as "Foreign" and lists its capacity as 0GB.

Any sugestions?? Thanks in advance.

stupid question: did you put the hard drive on slave? also try the other IDE channel...

Yes, it's on slave and it was the slave before with no problem (ang it is seen properly by the BIOS and Device Manager.)

I was just thinking - the new drive is NTFS and I can't remember whether the old one was NTFS or just FAT32. Could that be the problem?

So it's a dynamic disk - what do I have to do to make it readable! I need to get the data off of it!

Thanks again.

take control of it in admin tools under disc management
