Hello, Hopefully someone in here can help me. I created a new
partition (because I wanted to!) with Partition Magic 7.0 on my XP
Home Edition Computer. Everything went fine, except Windows Explorer
does not see my new G drive. Other parts of Windows ( system, system
restore) see it, but not explorer. What gives? I've tried Microsoft
site for help and PowerQuest (Norton) site for help and could find no
answers.
Help.
Thank you.
 
Hi, Klee.

Have you found Disk Management yet? Click Start | Run, and enter:
diskmgmt.msc

Study the screen and read the Help file. It will tell you a LOT!

I haven't used Partition Manager in a couple of years, but I understand you
need at least version 8.0 for WinXP. Have you assigned your new partition a
letter? And formatted it?

Hi R.C., yes I already checked in disk management. It is listed in
there. I don't know what else to do while I'm in there, tho. Also,
Partition Manager 7.0 does work in XP.
 
Hi, Klee.

Glad you figured it out. Might it help the next poor sufferer to know what
you learned? After all, in a newsgroup, we all learn from each other.
Maybe it's your turn to be a teacher now. ;<)

I doubt I could teach, besides then I'll be showing my stupidity.
Oh well, what the hell.
I use a tweaking program (TweakI for Power Users) and I forgot I had
that drive (G:\) turned off.
Sorry to bother you all.
 
Hi, Klee.

Been there. Done that!

Yep, it's embarrassing, but it might help jog the next guy's memory.

Thanks for letting us know. ;<)
