I just formatted my C: drive and installed Windows 2000. I had 98 on it. I have two hardrives, the one that windows 2000 is installed on and then an 80 GB drive that has lots of others stuff.

Now that I have installed 2000 I can't see my other HD. It is still there because when I boot up on a boot disk I can look at the contents of all the partitions on that drive.

Any idea how I can get windows 2000 to see the other drives. Oh, Also it sees one of the partitions (D:) But it says it needs to be formated. I am not going to format it because it is a good partition and has data on it.

Any help appreciated.

Is your 2000 Partition NTFS? Is your other drive formatted to FAT32? If so, that explains it. :)

No, I setup Win2k as Fat 32. I am sure of this. Under Disk Management it says C: is of type Fat 32.

Should have stated that in the original.

Any other ideas?
