If you have two harddrives in there they must have their jumpers set correctly. At one single IDE-channel there can be not more but one master. (Two slaves are ok.) Normally one can have one HDD as master (the one you boot from) at channel 1, together with the second HDD jumpered as slave. At channel 2 I usually put the CD-rom reader as master (making it possible to boot from a bootable CD).
Most often you'll find a label at the device pointing out the different choices and with a little picture of how to put the "jumpers" to set the device correctly.
About the space: Something is wrong. You shouldn't loose 8 GB. My guess is that you installed the drive, made a partition using XP and formatted it FAT32 and max spossible size, ie 32 GB. Then you made another attempt and used the same partition and this time formatted it NTFS. If this is tru you used the same 32GB-partition in the second try you allready created in your first attempt. The solution is to delete all partitions from the HDD and then, in the XP setup, create a new NTFS-partition, max size of course.
Good luck now!
