Hi, Bill.
In Disk Management, open the Help file and search for "foreign" and look at "Move Disks to Another Computer". On that page, you should find instructions, including this paragraph: Detect new disks On the new computer, open Disk Management. Click Action and then click Rescan Disks. Right-click any disk marked Foreign, click Import Foreign Disks, and then follow the instructions on your screen. If you get hung up anywhere, post back with exactly what you did and exactly what results you saw. ("Tried it; didn't work" doesn't help us help you at all.) Actually, I liked the Help file in WinXP's Disk Management better; the new one puts too much emphasis on dynamic disks, which I'm not really "into" yet, so I have to "read around" a lot of extra verbiage.
