rats...we did something wrong..we werent wanting to have two partitions....

let's start over on that one...choose the option to delete a dos partition...and choose whichever partitions are available....

ok now i got a warning that no partitions were active. and said that the one partition would not start if it wasnt made active, so i made it active.

ithat didnt fix it, i plugged both master and slave in and the slave is still not showing when i run fdisk through windows

Whats next?

[fixit5561]

ok now that i did all that.....

Now i see a D: drive in *My Computer* but the slave drive still doesnt show up when i perfom fdisk

So i reformatted the D: drive and now it only says that the D: drive has 14.7mb of pace available. the way i reformatted that D: drive is i right clicked on it in my computer and then clicked on format and full and it came up with only 14.7mb of space.

I dont think that D: drive that just showed up in My Computer is the slave drive because the slave drive i have is a 10 gig drive.

And what is that D: drive? Is it part of my master that is now showing as a second drive?

So now what im lost?
Thanks
Brian

ok..this may or m ay not work in 98 but et's give it a try....do start > run > diskmgmt.msc

[fixit5561]

that didnt work , a window came up and said that it wasnt available.

[dsenette]

ok....what i'm trying to get you to is disk management...and unfortunately i'm not the best with 98....open up windows help and search for disk management....that should give you a link to open disk management...or at least a method of getting into it...once you get that opened let me know what you see

[fixit5561]

i did a search and it came up with nothing under disk manager or disk mangement

[dsenette]

grr....let me search
