Partition Info Lost

Comment:
The 2nd HD was FAT32 and no os was installed. Now in Window Explorer only the drive letters appeared. The size and type of the partitions in this HD are not shown. Under Ghost (Dos), the label and the folders of each partition can be seen under the "image to partition" option; but I can't image the partition and get error message. Please help me solve the problem. Thanks.

Hi GSA...
You gotta' back up and start from square one: how many HDs do you have? What do you want to accomplish? What were you trying to do, and with what software?Or was this a crash? Were you trying to use Partition Magic to alter some partitions, or Norton Ghost to create or install a HD image?? Nobody's answering you because we don't understand what you want.
