I can't help you I'm afraid, but on the other hand I'm
curious to know if your secondary drive is already
installed and working and recognised by Windows XP? The
reason I asked is that I have attempted something similar,
moving a bootable Windows ME HDD to my new, Windows XP
computer (as secondary drive) and XP says it is
unallocated. I am wondering if I have a hardware or
software problem here, and knowing how you are managing
might give me a hint...
