Not much information to go on.
When you had the drive in question hooked up as a slave:
Did the bios recognize it?
Did it show up in disk management? If so, did it have a drive letter assigned to
it?
If no drive letter was assigned to it, assign one from within drive management, and
you should be able to access it.
