wow...well what I wouldve done was image your xp to the new drive and then use partition magic to increase the partition or create a new one. or you could back up all your stuff to cd and just wipe out everything and start from scratch. now if both drives were formatted with ntfs you might have lost ownership of the other files. whoops you can even see them. can you see them in computer management? Now I'm wondering if the MBR along with the boot.ini is trashed.
