Thank you Ted,
Sorry, wrong expression, it should have been "merge a partition".
I followed your instr. my "lost slave drive" is still lost. The BIOS cannot find it either. Why this sudden loss?

Since when does Partition Magic 'transfer data from one partition to another'?

In any case, open XP's Disk Management snap-in (Start > Run > type: diskmgmt.msc > OK). Do you see the drive there? If not, then you somehow deleted it.

I have a 2.00 Gig AMD Athlon 64 with two hard drives, which have worked perfectly until yesterday when the "slave" suddenly disappeared.
At the time I was working with the master drive transfering data from one partition to another using Partition Magic 7.
I felt brave enough to check the Bios and found that the detection of the drives are on "Auto".
The BIOS is a Phoenix Tech LTD 6.00 PG 08/05/2005
