SATA Hard Drive - Partition Issues
Hi,
I have a Seagate 400GB SATA drive, I've just built a new PC using A-bit motherboard and a Intel Dual Core 3.0GHZ. When installing a new Operating system WinXP Pro, which gave me the option to create Partitions. I decided to create the following: C Drive: 70GB D Drive: 10GB E Drive: 300GB However, once the installation was complete, I cannot see the E drive, i.e. 300G seems to have been lost. Do I need to reformat myhard drive and create the partitions again, or can I not create more than 2 partitions????? Where can I check to see what has happeend here? Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks Kaleem |

Welcome to PCMechanic, kaleem!
 Do you have SP1 included with the copy of XP you have? It could also be that the 300GB partition hasn't got a filing system on it.

Thannks for your help - Problem resolved.
I actually went into Disk Management where it had stated that 300G was unallocated on my Hard Drive, I then assigned the Drive a letter and formatted that particular Partition. Cheers Kaleem |
