Ok here's the problem I have a two hard drive system with several partitions. I had ran out of space on the partition with the OS. So I went and bought a new drive and installed Windows XP on it. I could see the partitions when I was installing XP but when the system comes up the second partition on the drive with OS dosen't show up and the my second drive shows up as the first partition but doesn't show the others and doesn't aloow me to access them. I have done this procedure before and never had problems and the drive is good but I am not sure what I did the last time. Any thoughts I really don't want to reformat the drive because there is a lot of data on the drive that I can't replace.
