Winxp Pro Probs

Help just installed WinXP Pro on my master drive and I have a second drive az well with a lot of information on it but cannot access now because WinXP keeps saying that when I click on that drive that it needs to be formated but it already has ages ago. And then it did a scan disk which apparrently corrected a lot of lost links and other stuff, I cannot access it at all, I think that I may have lost all my music and other programmes. Anyone know of this problem. Im starting to hate computers after a 12 month affair.

Probably need to uncompress your other drive. When you installed XP did you use NTFS files system?

no formated the drive to fat32 same az the other one already was.

hmm.. is there an OS on the other drive?

there usesd to be a copy of XP on there as well but got rid of that a few days ago. And I have noticed that my second hard drive is now the "F" drive where once used to be the "D" drive with my two cd roms being "E" and "F"
