Formatting Drive D: under Windows 2000 (1 Viewer)

[Mike Grell]

Hello all! I'm back to this forum seeking more help!

I have just installed a PC with Windows 2000 - no problems there.

The problem is... this machine has 2 HD's installed; C: which is the primary drive housing the Win2K OS / formatted NTFS.

The second drive, D:, which had to be blown away previously with FDISK (otherwise Windows 2000 *insisted* changing C: to F: during installation!) is now sitting useless, and not even recognized as a drive in Win2K.

The drives listed in the explorer are now:

A: Floppy
C: Primary Boot / NTFS / Windows 2000
D: CD-ROM
E: CD-BURNER

No sign of HD #2...

Any ideas of how I format this drive and bring it back to life as a device?

Much thanks as always...

Mike

Right click "My Computer"->Manage->->Disk Management. This will take you to the Win2K Disk Manager, which is basically a GUI FDisk
