Hello: I recently installed windows xp and everything is working fine on the C drive on which I installed. This install was done after a power failure that screwed a bunch of stuff up on my computer. The problem is that I have two hard drives and my computer isn't recognizing the secondary one. I have never worked with partitioning before but a friend recommended partition magic. I ran it and it sees the other hard drive but the drive says "unallocated" , status at none. Like I said I'm new at this and I don't want to screw anything up so I was wondering if anyone could walk me through the process of getting this drive back on track. I would greatly appreciate the help as I store all my important files and what not on this drive and would hate to lose them.
Thanks a bunch! Mike
