Hello all... Ive 2 hdd in my machine. Ive had xp pro installed. Ive had to
remove xp pro due to my motherboard limits so i installed win 2k pro. Now i
cannot see the second HDD. Before I moved from xp to win2k, the second hdd
was reporting as a 'Dynamic' Partition.. Can anyone tell me how to get win 2k
to see my second drive as its all my data.... Thanks in advance.
