My system had 3 IDE drives and a SCSI drive. It boots from one of the IDE's.
One of the non-booting IDE drives died, i had it replace it. All i did was
remove it,and install another one. Now the SCSI drive, which had nothing
done to it (i haven't even formatted the new IDE drive yet!) is not recognzed
by 2000. it says it is "uallocated space".
I even put the old,broken IDE drive back in, still the SCSI drive is
"unallocated". I DID NOT DO ANYTHING! I know the data must still be
there...how do i make the computer recognize the drive again without
destroying the exisitng data? HELP!

Check the jumper(s) on the new drive to make sure it's set the
same way the old drive was. Also, if the old drive had FAT
or FAT32 partitions instead of NTFS, you can try booting off
a DOS floppy and, using FDISK, create the same kind(s) of
partitions that were on the old drive (primary or extended),
with an equivalent number of logical drives in the extended
partition.
