I've got two hard drives, one has the OS Win xp on it, thew other has
just data, word documents, excel stuff, photos, etc.

If I goto device manager I see both drives one at location 0 0 and one
at 1 1 but If I goto My Computer I only see my C System drive?

How can I see both?
One is a master, the OS drive, the other is slave, set on a single
cable

Are you certain that the D: drive didn't get hidden either in a windows
function or by a third party program? Because if it did it would be
seen in device manager but not in my computer.
 
I've got an old maxtor 20g set as a slave (by itself) on the secondary IDE
channel as we speak. Works fine and always has.
