Installed new harddrive and Windows 2000 on it. The old drive is still in the computer. Would like to rescue some files from it.

This is happening because of a small pin known as jumper. Please select your second drive as slave for more info please look on top of HDD. these pin will be located next to data and power cable.

Yes, you can add a second, third, and even 4th drive to your computer. Depending on your configuration, you can set it up as a master (boot drive) and slave ("data drive"). To do this, you'd need to set the jumpers on each drive so the hard drive knows whether it's a master or slave. Each model hard drive has this information printed on it, so check the drive for those settings.
When you boot up the computer, the boot drive will be drive C and the other one will be drive D. You should have no problem accessing files on either drive.

You need to make the 2nd drive a slave to the master drive. You need to change the pin settings in the drives, check the manuals.

in case you're no longer completely IT savvy i could leave nicely on my own. that's extremely customary for the manufacturers to chop up the troublesome rigidity into 2 partitions. commonly the D rigidity is composed of the restoration archives so as that in the process an emergency in the experience that your workstation will become contaminated with an endemic or the working equipment will become broken you could restoration to manufacturing unit defaults and characteristic your equipment up and working back. via fact of this it is not sensible to delete "D" partition thoroughly, except you're certainly particular it would not have the restoration archives. It it a threat to apply partition magic and comparable courses and that they are in a place to resize partitions "on the fly" (without dropping archives) so which you need to have an more advantageous C rigidity and a smaller D rigidity, yet you certainly need to appreciate what you're doing - you need to extremely finally end up with an unbootable gadget

yes you can slave the old drive behind the new one....you can set both drives to cable select and you will be able to see the old files. Also if old drive is running ntfs new drive also needs to be ntfs...if old drive is running fat32 don't worry what the new drive is running.....
look on the drives themselves usally tell u master and slave setting if not go to manufacture web site
