When installing programs, such as photoshop, when it comes time to choose where to install, the only visible partition is the fat drive I have 98 installed on. With some other progs, it will only see the L drive, where 2000 pro is installed. My config: first boot partition, C:, 98 installed second boot partition, L:, 2000 professional 5 logical ntfs partitions for apps, users home directories 1 fat logical partition for apps, games in 98. Even from the admin account, all drives should be visible to a programs install exe, but it does not appear to be the case. Something is set wrong.
