Before re-installing 'xp' i backed up a lot of data on a Slave Drive (D) ,
(C) is my System HDD,

Right, i took out the 'ide' cable and power to the Slave, and reformatted
and reinstalled XP on C: .. After i installed 'xp' i then connected the
Slave Drive, as i have done many times before, except..
1. It was not in Windows Explorer, C: was there, of course, and E: was
there, (my DVD drive)
2. In Computer Management Console, the Slave drive was there, but it was
labelled as 'Unallocated Space'
3. During boot up, my PC recognises that there are 2 HD's as it asks me to
press F1 to save the changes
4. The Slave drive is 10 gig, and on 1 boot up, it was labelled as
254,000mb
on the 'press F1 to save changes' screen ?

I darent do anything like, 'initialise' the HD in the Computer management
console, just in case i wipe whatever data might be left on the hard
drive,
Can someone please tell me why this Reinstallation has gone a bit Pear
shaped, as ive done nothing different to the 5 or 6 other times ive
reinstalled and saved stuff to the Slave prior to Reinstalling 'xp'

Thanks a lot - Fred C

Compaq Deskpro 650mhz, running 'xp pro' no sp2 , Maxtor 80 gig hdd, and
slave is maxtor 10gig

The Slave hard drive is in device manager when i go to control
options/system/device manager ??

No shorts in the ide cable?
All jumpers are set correctly?
All connections good and proper?
What file systems are on each drive?
What programs were used to create file systems (fdisk, partition magic,
etc...)

later,
charles.....
