Hard Drive Help

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

I have 3 hard drives, a 250 GB SATA, a 40 GB IDE and a 200 GB IDE. I
went through alot to get the BIOS to see the 2 IDEs after installing
the SATA, I mean alot. Well, I finally get that, and then some trouble
logging onto WinXP, then finally, the desktop. Well, I go to transfer
my files from the 200GB to my SATA, and 'My Computer' doesn't recognize
them. So I go into the device manager and there they are! So, my
question is, if they show up in device manager, but not in 'My
Computer', how do I make them show up in 'My Computer' too?

I forgot to mention... I already have WinXP installed on the SATA. Can
I still segment it?
