I've installed another hard drive and have made it the
master drive. XP Professional is installed on both the
old hard drive and the new drive. How do I open programs
on the old hard drive which is now the slave drive? Both
drives are recognized and all files and folders are
listed but clicking on these programs will not open them.
Help!
 
If you have changed the old primary to the now secondary
then I'm not suprised nothing opens, as your no longer
booting to the installed operating system.

in order for these programs to open, you must be in the
operating system these programs are installed in. just
copying these programs will not resolve your problems.
only installing them again in the current operating system
will resolve this issue.
 
Reinstall them... using a custom install and telling the installer to put
them on the d:\ drive (or whatever your old drive is called).

You are missing all the correct registry entries that will be in the c:\
drive which points to the location of the programs on the d:\ drive.
