[dba-Tech] Windows 2K Pro not seeing all of extra HD.

Windows had already assigned a drive letter (K:).

When I click on the drive in Explorer, I get a message box saying:

K:\ is not accessible
The parameter is incorrect.

Hi Jon,

I hadn't, but I did.  Now it says that it is a healthy 7.88GB partition.
LOL.

Any other ideas?

Have you activated the drive in Disk Manager? I had problems until I
remembered that :-)

Hi all, 

I found a spare 20GB sitting around here at work and put it into my machine
as a ghost file drive.  Anyway, I made 3 partitions on it.  2 partitions for
swap partitions and 1 for the ghost data.

When I look at it in the drive manager, it only sees it as 8GB and I can not
see anything on the drive.  Although from DOS, everything looks fine.  

I am using System Commander as a boot manager if that matters.

What exactly am I not remembering at the moment that is causing this?

Thanks,
Bobby
