Default vista install

system vista rc1
amd 3200
2gig ram
1x 200 gig stata 2 hdd ( system )
1x 320 gig sata 2 hdd ( storage )
2x nvida 6600 gt sli config
rating 4.0
my q is when i went to install vista on the 200 sata hdd it would not let
me install while both hdd where conected , so disconnected the 320 hdd and
installed the os on the 200 hdd , now when the system is up and running
updates done i connected the second stata drive and went into disk man to see
if the drive was there adjusted setting so computer will see the drive .
vista was saying it was unallocted space and i had to reformat to use drive
and with what i had on the drive i know i was going to lose the data on it (
not happy jan ) lucky i backed it all but will this if anyones knows be the
deal every time one dose a reformat with vista. i thought with the updated
windows os it would be able to see a old drive which was already formatted to
ntfs and used for a period of time with xp and would not lose all the
data on it .. so has any ideas why it done this and if it will do it
everytime i reformat ??
