ITs the wierdest thing, I was runing windows Xp with 2 hardrives. The
secondary hardrive 300Gb is a Segate. It was almost full. I formated my C
drive and installed windows Vista, now When i go to my computer, I see C, and
D. my secondary drive shows up with a red line showing that its almost full.
It shows that there is 1.03 GB left and that it has 279GB of used Space. When
i go to it, its empty, I can put stuff on the 1.03 GB that that it has left,
but I can't see my files.
Winamp was able to access it and find the songs, and play them that are on
there, but I can't see it with Explorer. Its formated as a primary drive.
NTFS. What can I do?

Try running chkdsk /r on it. It may just need to have NTFS upgraded to the latest version (though I haven't seen your problem before). Otherwise, use the method you have for backing up your second drive (because it will fail at some point) and reformat it from Disk Management.

How is #2 designated in Disk Management?

I tested the drive with scandisk /r and it was able to read every file and check it.. It took for ever but it checked it. Winamp can access the drive I just don't know why vista can't.

Check the drive and file attributes. Try unhiding hidden and system files in Folder Options.
