win xp doesn’t recognizes slave HD

From: “Eduardo” Sent: 3/6/2003 9:49:06 AM

The problem i have is the following, My computer has 2 HD,
1 of them is 40GB and has all the System informarion, the
other one is 120GB and has all my files,both disk have
NTFS format.

The problem is that my 40GB disk broke down, so i needed
to buy a new hd, and I did. then installed Win XP again on
the new HD, and then I added the slave HD (120Gb) but it
doesn’t recognize it ans it is asking me to format the
Drive. as you can see this drive has over 80Gb of files,
and pure files only.

So i don’t know what to do in order to retrieve my files.

Any Ideas???

I appreciate any help given in this problem!!!

Thanks!
