Those of you who wrote back to me to ask about how the partitions were
organized where right. After I ran fdisk I assumed that the 2 partitions
on the new 4gig drive were C: and D: and that the old 2gig drive, which I
installed as a slave was drive E:.
For reasons I don't understand Windows organizes the partitions
differently, 1st partitions of the 4gig drive is C:, the old drive is D:
and the second partitions of the new drive is E:.
I could have seen it if I had looked more closely at what fdisk did but I
figured that the "logical" order would prevail.
Dunno why the system mixes them up like that......but......I am all
figured out now and the drives are all visible and accessible.
Thanks a bunch guys...........

Sounds to me like the old drive might be formatted with fat32.. did you
check that?
Only thing I can think of since it worked now it doesn't...
