Did you change operating systems? windows doesnt recognize EXT2 formats there may be an issue there.
was the other drive part of a raid array before the retooling? if it was part of a raid array you may need to rebuild the array before accessing the files.
next insure there are no special drivers required to access the drives nothing wierd like scsi interface or PCI card controller?
if there is no wierd issues try useing the setup disk as a boot disk drop to DOS and access the drive that way.
