Vista won't use 2nd IDE drive

Well ... you ain't gonna like it, but to use it, you will have to assign it
a drive letter and that basically means creating a new volume which means
formatting the drive. If you can, boot to the 80GB drive and save everything
on B, then go back to the Vista boot drive and restore it. If you have
ShadowProtect Desktop, or willing to try the trial version at
storagecraft.com, you can image b, boot to Vista and install ShadowProtect,
then resotre b after creating the volume.

You MIGHT try booting to the XP repair console and copying the files
