i have a system c: and d: both maxtor. recently installed xp home, during installation, asked to convert drive c: to ntfs, did this, completed setup. pc is now no longer seeing/recognising 80gb maxtor d:
does anyone know how to fix this?
 
Try going into Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management. Do both drives show up there? If so, try right-clicking on the drive in question and click on Mark Partition As Active.

Also, under Administrative Tools, Services, make sure your Local Disk Mananger service is not disabled. To change it, right-click on it, click on Properties, then select Automatic or Manual.

These worked for me.
Good luck.
