Clean Reinstall of XP now can’t access Secondary HDD

by btyler02 . Updated 19 years, 6 months ago

I did a clean reinstall of Xp on my primary HDD today, but now I am not able to access the secondary HDD I backed everything up to?? I installed it on my SATA primary, then booted it with the IDE plugged in as my secondary. No jumpers because its the only IDE, and BIOS and Windows see that its there, but it wont assign a drive letter or let me explore it. I tried everything with Disk Manager, but it won’t let me access it either other than to format a partition. I have tried Safe mode and getting to the Security properties, but no luck there either. Any help is very much appreciated!
