xp 2nd hdd detection problem

My primary master hdd is a fujitsu. Have installed a 2nd hdd maxtor as slave. On boot both are detected and status reported OK. My secondary master is the cd drive and also OK.
If I go to windows recovery console command prompt I can see and access the maxtor as drive G: (c:,d:,e:, and h: are on my fujitsu master) which seems correct.
The problem is when I go into xp on my fujitsu hdd master I can not find the maxtor on G:
Can anyone guide me on how I should find and access the maxtor when I'm in windows XP on the fujitsu drive.??
