NTFS and hard drives

I have 2 HD fitted and runing win2k the second was is set as a slave has no OS and was formated to NTFS the first has win2k OS and is set to master.

I have reformated disk 1 because when i installed 2k I did not format this one to NTFS but just left it as fat i now wanted this drive formated to NTFS ok so far fine everything is installed and working apart for disk 2 the slave. When the PCU starts it shows primary master samsung and primary slave as quantam ok everything should be be fine but when the system loads up I have only one hard drive and that being the primary master the slave dose not show up anywhere is this some promblem with NTFS or what the heck ! there is nothing wrong with HD as I could fdisk it but dont want to as i would loose the data on it.

Anyone got an idea as to what is wrong or how I can get the data off a disk that dose not show up in win2k !

It doesn't show up under 'Disk Management' or 'My Computer' or both? Have you d/l the mfr's utility and tested the drive? Here are the most popular.

Does 'Disk Management' have a drive letter assigned to it?

That's the problem.........
You PROBABLY have to give it another drive leter since the disk signature bytes must be cleared.....
I hope you did a back up!!!!!!!!! Do a M$ KB search....
