Default Converted slave drive missing personal files...wtf?

I recently swapped my girlfriends IDE desktop hard drive from her old Compaq computer so she would have access to her old personal files (jpgs, mp3, etc) Next, I re-installed it as a Slave drive in her newer E-machine. Two hard drives now. I removed the jumper as per a website's instructions to make this make and model drive a slave. It re-installed fine, the drive was identified as "E." and appears just fine.

The problem is you can only view the old windows files on this slave drive. All of her personal files are missing.....or just not visible as I suspect.

What did I do wrong here? Any thoughts or suggestions?
