I have a computer that was originally WinME. It has two
physical drives, 80Gb and 120Gb, both one partition,
originally FAT32 from WinME. I installed WinXP, and it
formatted the primary drive as NTFS. Now the D: drive is
not in My Computer, etc., but it shows up in the
configuration utilities. Drive Manager sees C: as NTFS
and the second drive as FAT32, but no drive letter, and it
states "On-line(Active)". The reassign drive letter
dropdown is gray, and, when clicked, it remains "blurred
out". Can WinXP read/write to two drives with different
formatting or is this my problem (one NTFS, one FAT32)?
Help appreciated!
