I have a new WD 120g hard drive that I tried formatting using the xp disc. But then unfortunately it went ahead and continued to install windows on the new drive.

Now, I can boot into either drive and choose which operating system I want. But under the original windows install, I cannot see this new drive, even under disk management. Booting into the new drive and the new op. sys, I can see all the drives and it's all working fine.

How do I get the original windows to recognize this new drive???

I have the old drive set as master in the pin config, and the new drive is set to slave.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
