I had to repair XP, and after the install was complete, I
cannot see my 80Gb and 120Gb D: and E: drives in explorer.

I tried removing the power and shutting down the system, in
hopes XP would recognize and reinstall but it appears that
has not worked.

Any help is appreicated.

So you know, the drives were working fine before I repaired XP.

Thanks in advance.
 
Nat, I might not be 100% correct on this but I think you have to install
Windows Update SP1 in order for
XP to recognize more than 132G. Another reason could be that the XP
repair was done on Fat32 and
the other two drives are formatted in NTFS.
 
Try disk management to allocate a drive letter to the drives. Right click on
my computer select manage and then go to disk management.

hope that helps
Neil
