I think we need more info, but first, the simple solution check. Is the drive actually mounted or did you forget to put it into /etc/fstab and the mount point is just sitting there empty? Check what
Code:
df -kl
shows you.

[list=]Is this a new boot drive or just a secondary drive?[/list]
[list=]Does the partition mount and is empty or does not mount?[/list]
[list=]Did you try an e2fsck?[/list]

Assuming your new partition is sdb1, what does
Code:
tune2fs -l /dev/sdb1
show?

Did you forget to mount the new hard drive before you copied the files over? If so the files are still on the old partition, they are just hidden because you mounted over them. You might try unmounting the new drive and then checking the directory where it was mounted to see if there are files there.
