    Critical info:

    Debian with 2.22 Kernel
    I386 infrastructure
    2 120 GB hard drives

    We were having problems with the old drive, to the point it was getting
    memory errors on boot. We installed a new drive in, and put the old drive
    as master.

    Installed Debian on the new drive, no problems, and during the
    partitioning process, it showed both drives (though I didn't partition the
    old drive, because I didn't want to erase it, so I could recover data)

    After complete install, the new drive shows up as expected, the old drive
    doesn't, and isn't in fstab. cfdisk only shows the one drive.

    Any ideas?

    Scott

It took me ages to get round to figuring out and trust dual booting, since your using 2 physical drives you can setup linux on /hda and then when you set up Win XP pull out the Linux drive and swap in the windows one, perform your install as usual and then move the windows drive to hdb as windows doesn't mind being moved after install then you can get Grub to boot windows for you, or use BIOS to boot a different drive, independently. ...
