One of my computers crashed. Determined it was most likely the cpu or
motherboard. I took the HD from that computer and put in my other computer
as a secondary drive to get some info from it because I added some stuff
since my last back up. After the computer boots to XP Pro, the second drive
is recognized in Device Manager but when I double-click My Computer there is
no 2nd drive. Help.....

Did you set the Master/Slave jumper correctly on the drive.
Set it as Master or Single if it's the only drive on the cable/IDE channel.
Set it as Slave if it's a second drive added to a cable that already had a drive connected to it. Also check the jumper on the first original attached drive to make sure it is set as Master.
