You can not format the partition XP is on from XP... You have to boot from XP cdrom to format the partition XP is already installed on... The other drive may not be jumpered properly if the BIOS doesn't recognize it, or may need partitioned and formatted if just XP does not recognize it.. The other drive you can format and partition from XP in disk management..
