XP Does not recognize Slaved Hard Drive

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I just put a new hard drive and reinstalled XP (upgrade through ME) on my
system, I then reinstalled the old drive as a slave to recover some data and
XP doesn't show it. I checked and the BIOS found the drive as a slave
without any problems. I tried looking for it in disk manager but it wasn't
there. Both drives are FAT32.

Thanks
