>are either of those partitions marked as being 'ACTIVE'
G is not active. That is the recovery drive(2nd partition) from the larger
drive
I put in. What does that mean??.
C is not active(booting to here-smaller drive). D is not active(2nd
partition on smaller drive).
F is active(big partition on large drive,used to be C drive on large
drive before the move)

Yes - you are still booting the original OS from the small drive that is the
original on that system
and can see the partitions that were (and still are) on the big drive.
The files on the big drive were, (and presumably still are) protected from
other users accessing them
you should, as administrator, be able to give yourself access to them - but
first check that you have set windows explorer to show you all files
BUT the OS on the big drive is not the same as the OS on the little drive -
as you found out when it wanted to be re-activated.
You can use the XP facilities to clear down the drive by deleting partitions
from it, and creating new ones and then formatting the partitions
or you can just use them as they are
(right click my computer - select manage - Storage - Disk management)
