I have a windows ME system that my son runs for school. It has 2 drives and the second drive is recognized by the system Bios but not by Windows. I have run a few utilities and it comes back with unknown FAT while the C Drive reads fat 32. I have run utilities and the data is still there and the Maxtor drive checks out ok. How do I fix this? Fat32 problem and the software recognizing the drive? It was working a few months ago My son finally told me about this yesterday. In brief I have 2 drive one somehow corrupted so that dos and windows does not see it but the Bios and utilities does. Not even Fdisk see it? Any help is greatly appreciated.
