Alrighty, my desktop primary HDD was screwed because a USB driver basically screwed the OS boot system. Basically, the system could never find a safe registry to load and the system would only boot in safe mode. I decided to buy a second HDD and update to XP. Had a hard time for my system just recognizing the new drive alone. I finally got it to work when I allowed my old HDD to be the master and the new drive become the slave. I set up XP on the slave drive and created a minor parition on the master (old) HDD for XP to load some files on.
After all of that, XP loads, does it business... Mind you I never deleted any other partitions or information from my old drive. XP sets up on the slave and reboots and I figure it would ask me which OS to boot from. Well the system automatically boots from XP, which is the (new) slave drive. I get into the system, load the updates, and get the network set up. I got to My Computer and no folders on my old drive are recognize and it will only show the partition that was created on the old drive to load XP files on, which I made sure were set up in the FAT format.
So, did I go wrong, or is there something I can do to get the files and documents to appear???
