Slave not seen in My Computer

Just got an HP 2.2g (in pieces). It had a 60g drive with xp home on it. We took my
60g out of my AMD system, and my 40g slave and tried to hook them up in the new system.
For several hours we had trouble getting it to recognize the drives. It would see
the two CD roms, but no HDs. Changed ribbons etc, and finally changed to the original
master. Got the master and slave to recognize, but not the CD roms then. One pair
or the other, not both. After a few more hours (no idea how) we finally got all four
drives to recognize.
You'd think we'd leave well ebough alone, but nooooo. The board was going into a
different box, so out everything came again.
Now for the last three days, we've tried to get windows to see the slave. It will
recognize the master, slave and cd-roms in bios and in the device manager, but the
slave will NOT show in my computer.
We've tried several different drives both as masters and slaves, changed ribbons,
changed settings to cls, uninstalled and reinstalled the slave and still, it doesn't
show in My Computer, but it does in bios and in the device manager.
For quite some time we did have trouble auto detecting the drives in bios as well,
but for the moment they are auto detecting.
Short of declaring this board posessed, is there something we're missing?
