I managed to answer my own question. The problem is that for whatever reason WindowsME and Linux couldn't see the old drive. I looked it over and made sure the jumper settings were correct. I kept at it until BAMM! Linux and Windows saw it. On a side note I really wish someone would get a driver working for winmodems. I don't really want to spend the money on an external one since this one works just fine. Oh well keeping the faith going.
