Did you re-install WinXP with both hard drives connected? If so, it's possible that you accidentally deleted the partition. It doesn't sound like you formatted it, because data has been recovered. If you deleted the partition, then the cache may be lost too, therefore Windows can't find anything to display as its contents. A data recovery program or professional may be your only way out.
I am not sure what else could cause this, unless it is a rare case of hard drive incompatability with the motherboard. I doubt this is the case, because you mentioned that you have done previous installs successfully. Check your jumper settings on the back of the drives if there is a possibility they may have been tampered with between o.s. installs. Not sure why they would have been, but who knows?
Good Luck!
