OK...I finally got XP Pro running on a 50 GB partition on a 160 GB Drive.
I have a 60 GB drive which is partitioned roughly 20/40. The 20 used to be
the C: drive with windows installed on it and the 40 was for storage. This
drive is now set up as a the primary slave.
The problem is that the drive shows up in computer management as a single
partition with no drive letter, and does not show up in My Computer at all.
I tried to convert it to a Dynamic Drive, as this was the only option
available, but it said there is no free space on the partition. In
actuality there is 11GB free on the drive.
How can I get at the data?
I have a second hard drive problem too...
I have an external 80GB Maxtor Firewire drive. It has developed bad
sectors affecting roughly 500kb. I have 60GB of files on the drive that
I'd like to transfer to another drive. The drive is recognized in My
Computer and assigned a letter. It shows that 60GB are used, but the only
folder that appears in Windows Explorer is "Recycled", which is empty.
Please help me save my files...
Thanks,
Lanny Lipson
