I have Pentium Dual Core CPU with D945GNT MBD and 200GB Harddisk.
The first Partition is of 80GB and rest three partitions of 40GB
each.

I have installed Win2K prof. on the 80gb partition and Win XP on the
second 40GB partition.
The problem i am facing is that one of the 40GB partition is not
accessible thru Win 2K. whereas it works fine with WinXP

Can Anybody give me a solution for the problem.


Thanks

Hi,

can you tell me the file format for each of hte partitions. Seems that you
have a combination of FAT32 and NTFS partitions.
 
And there is absolutely no reason what-so-ever that he can't have fat32 and
NTFS partitions mixed.

Go to My Computer | manage | disk management.

What does it say about your drives there. Are they all listed as healthy and
basic?

Hi this happens when you have installed 2000 on a FAT32 partition and XP on a
NTFS partition and then converted the other partitions to NTFS.
 
Hmmm. Peculiar. Is this a particular quirk of the combination of
installing Windows 2000 and Windows XP as you describe it, or could the
problem be duplicated in a Windows 2000 only setup?

So, at that point you have all NTFS partitions, and one of them (the one you
converted) got corrupted in the process.

It is not the same as mixing fat32 and NTFS partitions on the same
computer - which is done quite frequently.

Huh? Who said that? Where was there anything saying there WAS! Have some

Otherwise you wasted your time.

A combination of FAT32 and NTFS partitions is perfectly fine for both
Windows 2000 and Windows XP/

Read the original post **<POP>**

The first reply indicates that the O/P has problems because he has a
combination of fat32 and NTFS.

Get back on your meds - fast!
