Hard Drive install issues

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

On my old computer had one hard drive running windows
2000 professional and one for just data. I bought a new
computer that with Windows XP Professional with a new
drive as a master hard drive(40gig), setting the old hard
drive as a slave(80 gig). The old HD is NTFS, in computer
managment it is showing as active and healthy, The only
option that I get is to Delete the Partition. I need the
data that is on the old drive.

Anyone have any ideas of how to get this to work??

Thanks

The only place that I can see the drive is when I got to
Disk Managment and I can't do anything with it. I looked
under windows explorer and it doesn't show there either.
Only the drives that are orginal to the machine are
showing. I don't to lose the data, but I can't use it
either. It is totally frustrating.

Thanks in advance for any help.
