second hard drive not recognized

I recently reinstalled Windows 2000 Pro and as I am trying to learn Linux, I also installed Mandrake 9.1 on the same hard drive. This seems to be working pretty well, I can boot to either O.S. but Windows no longer recognizes my second hard drive. My bios still recognizes the second hard drive but I have no idea how to access it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Just a guess!!! How about moving Linux to an extended partition on the second drive.

Thanks for the reply Gene. There is a lot I don't know about computer tech but my second hard drive has been in use for quite a while and I have several GB of data on it that I don't want to lose. It is already divided into 4 primary partitions. Wouldn't moving Linux to this drive mean that I would lose this data. How could I do this anyway? I can't access the second drive.
