can't access the secondary drive in w2k

I had hd maxtor @ hp/win me.

After it stoped booting (hanged before loading desktop images with "error in shell32.dll" msg), I installed the small hd (seagate metallist 3GB) for w2k and the old one wanted to keep for data.

W2k doesn't map this drive, I can't access it.

This small hd is primary master and the old one is secondary master.Bios recognises both correctly. Both are FAT32.

In disk manager w2k the drive listed in the right hand pane as Disk1 online, Unallocated. Properties show vendor, disk volume and secondary channel correctly. It offers to create partition, but I think the data would be deleted then and I want to keep it...

I really appreciate your advice!
