A very weird thing
I just finished my build an installed Win XP Pro. Partitioned the HD and formated it using NTFS.
Then I proceeded to hook up the HD from my older machine to transfer my files to the new one. The new PC has a Seagate Barracuda 80 GB (well, 76 GB actually, they robbed me!) and the old is a 60 GB Maxtor which has two FAT32 partitions. I transferred the data and at some point I clicked on one of the old HD's folders. It took too much time for it to display its contents (too much time in computer time, that is, over a minute). And when it finally did it they just showed for a few seconds then the FAT32 partitions disappeared. Yes. As you hear it: they just vanished! I pressed F5 to no avail. Rebooted and the old HD was nowhere to be found. Even when it was recognized by the BIOS at POST. The HD is fine. In fact it's the one I'm using now. Any insight on this matter, anyone?

I have had that happen with XP also. Go to Disk Management and have it refresh or scan the drives, it just takes a few seconds. It will probably be in there shown as unallocated space. It doesn't happen every time but it seems until XP has a look it doesn't believe it!
