I can't remember what the partition type is, probably primary and it was
marked as active. I'm sure I did the same thing to the first disk and it
was fine.

>Depending on the type of disks you have and the order, it may be attempted
to boot from that drive. Remove the partitions and create them under XP or
create them under dos as non-ACTIVE >partitions.

I'm sure it is trying to boot from the new disk. As I can't access anything
form within XP it looks like I'll have to use DOS. Oh goody, I've not used
FDISK in years!
