Do you remember how you formatted the "OLD" primary, now secondary?
Is the new primary formatted as NTFS? NTFS is "NOT COMPATIBLE"
with FAT32 and cannot read FAT32. So DOS and BIOS AND XP says it
there but XP's NTFS formatted op system cannot read it!

I would try making it a Primary on the secondary channel and see if that 
helps.
I think if everyone checks XP's file System is WinNT's File System.
The new file System isn't coming out till Longhorn is released.
In WinXP you should be able to view any other Win File System so long as 
your not trying to view a NTFS File System with a Win32 file System.
If you Format your boot drive Win32 and the original secondary drive is 
NTFS you won't be able to access the old drive.
