cfdisk doesn't see slave ide


A friend got a new computer with Win XP. I installed his old hardrive (Win95) as slave with the intention of backing up his old files and putting linux on the new drive.
When I boot with Slackware 9 and run cfdisk it sees the master XP drive on hda, but does not see the slave. The master had two partitions, a large NTFS, and curiously enough, a small ext3 partition. I could mount that at /mnt and /proc/ide/ide0 showed both hda and hdb and correctly identified the drives. What can I do to get cfdisk or fdisk to see hdb?
The MB is M7NCG

Thanks,
Garst

Was there an error message when you did 'cfdisk /dev/hdb'?
