I installed SP4 on windows 2000 professional. After I did
it I found that my 2nd hard Disk Drive not to be
formatted. This is a big problem for me because of the
limited space on my c: drive I put the SP4 uninstall
directory there and backed up some of my files there to
create space on my c: drive. Does anyone know how to
recover this drive or get the system to recognize it
again? If I reformat I will lose a lot of important
data. I would appreciate anyones help. Thanks
 
I wonder why you installed SP4. Was it just for security
fixes? This is one of those "If it ain't broke, don't fix
it" things. The Service Packs have so much more than
security fixes and I'm finding more and more that, while
NT SPs were notoriously buggy, Win2k Service Packs are
deviously buggy, not letting you know what's wrong until
well after you've been switched over for 2-3 months.

My suggestion? Uninstall SP4 and hopefully that will fix
your problem.
