Secondary disk dissapeared after going back from XP to 2K

[benone]

Hi,

I've got a system with two removeable disks on IDE 0, the
first disk is the OS and the second (F:) is 120GB of data.

So i installed XP Pro onto my system disk with no probs, i
could see the data drive and everything was fine.

I've now reverted back to Windows 2000 on the system disk
but it doesn't see the data disk.

Did XP do anything that made my second disk invisible?
Both are NTFS.

Thanks

Ben

NTFS was updated when XP shipped. Whenever XP would find a 2000 NTFS drive,
it would convert it automatically to the new version. I do not know if you
can re-convert back to an older version of NTFS, without doing a re-format.
