XP no drive letters problem

I just installed XP on my dads puter. Everything seems to work fine except, he needs to be able to transfer data from the slave which is set as slave to the c: which is a WDse set as master. In windows XP, in windows explorer, there are no drive letters...What is going on? How do you make it so you can view C: and D: etc... The only things that show up in windows explorer is floppy, cdrom, and that local disk xp installs on e:. Any ideas?
 
Only cdrom drive, logical drive E that xp makes, floppy...neither of the two hard disks. I doubt anyone on anand is gonna help with this problem, because my dad spent 2 hours talking to tech support and then another hour talking directly to a microsoft tech who specializes in XP and they couldnt figure it out.
 
Are the attributes for the drive set to hidden? If so, by default, they won't be displayed b/c the default is to "hide" the hidden files.

Does your bios detect both drives?

maybe they are dynamic partitions and need to be imported? if so they will not show up until imported in disk management...
 
are the actual hardware devices listed in the device manager? Are you sure they are both getting power and have all the cables plugged in?
