I just finished formatting my C: drive and installing Windows 2000.

Now, my second hard drive, (formerly labeled D: ), is not detected,
(does not show up in the list of available drives when I doubleclick
"My Computer")

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

JV

Thanks for your reply, Michael.

I did what you suggested, but upon entering "Disk Management", I see no
"invisible" drive. All I see are the boot disk and the CD drive.

BTW, I found out that when I boot into Windows 98, the drive is
recognized, but not, alas, in Windows 2000.
Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Run Findpart.
 
Run Findpart.

Findpart? Is that an ap? A utility built into Windows 2000?
Could you give me a little more info on this?

Thanks.
