Hi,

I can't access my secondary 160gb hdd after installing a new boot drive.
I believe that XP was at fault in changing my partition tables. I
have not writen to or made any changed to the secondary drive since this
happend. I am not familiar with troubleshooting these issues. Does
anyone have advice? I need to recover this data.

Thank you,

Mike
 
Right click on My Computer and select Manage. On the following screen,
click on Disk Management.

Does the drive appear on the right hand side of the screen? Is it assigned
a drive letter? What does Disk Management say about the drive?

Thanks for the reply. I fixed the problem with Partition Magic. The
disk had free space in the front so i moved the partition so that the
space was in the back and now i can get to it. I don't really
understand why this would make a difference since this same drive was in
the same system working this way with the last install of XP
