I have two hard drives in my machine. My C: drive took a dump a while back and I replaced it with a new drive, reinstalling Windows XP. No problems there; however, when I try and open my other drive, Windows wants to format it and it is showing up as SCSI in disk management. Also, it's a 400 gb drive and I have 128 gb of files on it...Windows is showing it as a 128 gb drive. Tried putting it in a friends machine and his didn't recognize it either. Thoughts?

HD is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 400 GB ST3400633A

That sounds like you put it in a machine that doesn't have 48bit LBA. If these machines are running XP are you using SP1 or later?
 
It's in the same machine that it was running in before, just has had a new hard drive installed for the os. And it's hooked up SATA just as it was. I'm running XP SP 3 just as I was. Windows shows it in My Computer, but wants to format it before it'll open it and I don't want to lose my files.
