missing hard drive

[pjsr]

Hope some one can help
I have a amd 2.6 64 bit system, 1 gig ram some tv ati video card running Xp pro

two days ago i unplugged both my hard drives and connected a hard drive with Vista on it, it wouldnt see the drive so i unplugged it and replaced the conectors.The computer now only see's the primary master and not the secondary master, have tried looking for it in the management console, unplugging and restarting, but to no avail....any help would be well appreciated

Thanks Guys

I would check the device manager to see if the secondary controller is recognized and has it's driver loaded. If it's shown in the device manager it could be that the secondary controller was accidently disabled in the ROMBIOS.
