Hi,

I have a problem regarding the partitioning of my computer
hard disk, hope you can help me to solve it:

The hard disk is 40 GB, and partitioned into 3 drives,
they are all in NTFS:

C: windows XP, originally 10GB, after re-partition, it is
reduced to 6.83GB
D: windows 2000 advanced server, originally 10GB, after re-
partition, it is
increased to 15.78GB
E: user data, originally 20GB, after re-repartition, it is
reduced to 14.65GB

I did the re-partition in the C: drive using Chinese
Partition Magic 7. After re-partition, I can view and
access to all the 3 drives in C: drive using windows
explorer, but I can not view and access to C: and E:
drives when I am in D: drive. It seems that D: drive can
not recognize the other 2 drives.

Later, I went to the Disk Management service in the
Computer Management console in D: drive. The console can
show the 3 partitions but only the D: drive has its drive
letter and label, the other two drives do not have their
drive letters and labels. The 3 drives are all in healthy
state. I tried to change the drive letter of the 2
unrecognized drives, but an error message was prompted
from the Logical Disk Manager:

The operation did not complete because the artition/volume
is not enabled. Please reboot the computer to enable the
partition/volume.

Then I reboot the computer and tried to change the drive
letter again, but the same message was prompted again, no
matter how many times I reboot the computer. I also tried
to use Partition Magic 7 in drive D:, but it is not
compatible with server. I searched for help but found no
relevant articles.

I know there is something wrong after re-partition, but I
don't know what is wrong. I want to be able to view and
access to C: and E: drives in D: drive, Could anyone help
me to fix the problem?

Thank you very much.
