Okay, so I've been here looking and have not found a solution.

I just reformatted my master drive with windows XP Pro. I partitioned it as NTFS and booted up fine. But, now my slave drive is no longer recognized. I checked in Bios and it is being recognized there, all cables and jumpers are set properly on both hard drives and now I'm stuck. XP just will not recognize the drive. What can I do?

[edit]

I've now gotten it to where it does show up under Computer Management > Disk Management > as Disk 1. It says it's online, has the right spacial amount, but it's unallocated :-/.
