New Server - Move old greyhole disks

Made a new server since I out grew the old one. New motherboard, cpu, etc. I am now trying to move my old drives into the new server and am having issues.

The new install is Fedora 14 running Amahi 6.1. I installed it on a 250gb drive. I am attempting to add a second drive, a 2 tb drive (one of the old drives from the old server). Fedora sees the 2tb drive and so does Amahi's dashboard under Storage/Disks. The 250gb drive is /dev/sda and the 2tb drive is .dev/sdb. The issue is under storage pool it only shows the two partitions (the root partition with 49.2gb and /home with 175.8gb) of the 250gb drive. The 2tb drive does not exist. The 2tb drive has all my music and movies on it. How can I get greyhole to see it and be able to access the files?

Please help. Thank you!

Is it possible it's mounted somehow with bad permissions?

How is the 2tb drive partitioned?

That is very possible, but not sure how to check for that. I am very much a newbie.
How is the 2tb drive partitioned?
This is how the drive looks:

Disk /dev/sdb: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243201 cylinders, total 3907029168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0006737a

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 63 409662 204800 83 Linux
/dev/sdb2 409663 3907024064 1953307201 8e Linux LVM

So basicly it has a very small 210 mb partition and the rest is a LVM partition.
