Drew, you da man! The jumper on the Maxtor was in the same place for a slave as the WD drive was. That and the fact that The BIOS and DOS saw it as a slave led me to believe that the jumper there was for the slave setting. Well, it turns out that the Maxtor that I have uses no jumper for the slave setting. The jumper that was there is the "cylinder limitation jumper." I took it off and bang!, Win 2K could see all of the partitions and drive. Thanks to all for their assistance on this matter.

Are the pin settings on the drive correct? Some hard drives have pin setting to 'shrink' their size for older computers. Drives over 32 gig have a 32 gig setting, I don't remember if 8 gig is one of the 'older' sizes, I thought it was 2 gig, but there may have been an 8 gig setting.

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?
