Ensure that the jumpers are set correctly and or is in the proper
cable pattern (if using CS) if you intend on using it as a slave for
Windows (XP I assume) Once that is done, WindowsXP has no issues seeing
the drive but must be formatted. 

Here again, WindowsXP (assuming) can and will reformat a drive that has
been used by FreeBSD.
