Originally, i had a primary hard drive (western digital, 345 MB) which contained system software and a seconary hard drive (maxtor 1.2 GB) which contained all of my work. Due to a physical malfunction, the primary hard drive crashed, and i couldn't acess my computer at all without a boot disk. When i used the boot disk, it would not access the secondary hard drive. I replaced the damaged hard drive with a new one (western digital 814 MB) and reformatted and repartitioned it as a new MS-DOS primary hard drive. My problem is that i still cannot access the secondary hard drive. The really puzzling part is that while the internal BIOS recognizes the physical presence of the secondary hard drive (maxtor 1.2 GB), the operating system (MS-DOS 6.22) does not. I've tried using Fdisk, but it refuses to acknowledge the mystery device as well. Can someone please help me reconfigure my system to recognize the drive _without_ losing any of the data i have stored on it? thanks in advance.
