If Windows was running on the other drive as well you could now set that as master on the cable and use the Disk Manager in Administrative Tools\Computer Management to create and format the 40gb now being set as the slave in order to use that as a storage drive. If Windows gets goofed on the 20gb at some time your data is still safe on the 40gb. Of you can choose to use the XP installer to create and format the drive as part of the installation process if you plan on an installation there. To avoid having a dual listing on booting up you would first disconnect the 20gb for the new install there.
