A partition of my HDD is missing?
Last one partition of my HDD is missing.
It's connected to RAID controler. I formatted and partitioned in 7 sections. All of them in NTFS. That's roughly C(5.5gig), D(6.5gig), E(11gig), F(3.5gig), G(6gig), H(13gig), I(13gig) and the DVD-rom drive sjould be J. However, by clicking 'My Computer' icon my OS, Win XP Pro, shows only 6 partiotions. C, D, E, F, G, H, and I is the DVD now. I built it last week but I just noticed. Where the hell is my last partition? My OS ate my partition!!! Could somebody please tell me what is going on? Thanks you all. here is my rig: -AMD XP 1800 with Arkua 7228 HSF -Abit NV7-133R(latest 84 BIOS) -512 meg, 2 x 256 Xtreme DDR(single-sided) -ATI radeon 8500LE (bulk) (Omega Plutonium XK 1. 0. 71b) -Maxtor 60gig ATA133 -Pioneer DVD 16x S106(slot loadong) -Win XP pro -nothing overclocked -Antec 1035B case (with Antec350W PSU) |

What did you use to partition the drive, if the last partition didn't get formatted it will not show up .

I used 'MaxBlast Plus 2' from Maxtor website. It's the utility that supposed to come with a retail Maxtor HDD. I am sure the software finished formatting and partitioning before I installed the Win XP Pro.

Crash Override,
I don't see any item named 'computer management' or 'disk management' in my control panel. Could you be more specific please? Thanks. |

Thank you. It was in the 'Administrative tool'. Found it.
I tried to format and partition the 'unallocated' portion of my HDD and I did. But, now the new partition(I shows up as primary partition(system drive) like 'C:' while others(D, E, F ,G ,H) are indicated as logical drive and extended partition. Can't I make this 'I:' drive as these other drives? Also, the name of the drive is 'new volume' while others are named 'disk partitioned 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6'. Can' this 'I:' drive become 'disk partition 7'? |
