CrazyIvan 0 #6 April 7, 2003 Maybe you HAVE everything, did you originally format your SECOND drive NTFS?, if you did, DOS won't see the drive.__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydiveguy 0 #9 April 7, 2003 it could also be a virus. Funny how viruses spread through email attachments, but no one EVER opens attachments. MS Windows works great as long as you dont install any other software on it. SG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beavdog 0 #12 April 7, 2003 I'm with Ivan on this, that is really strange. Unless you ran some type of other program to reformat, the installer will clearly ask which drives to format. Here's to the Breezes that blows through the Trezzez..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RevJim 0 #14 April 7, 2003 Quote That's usually caused by a problem between the chair and the keyboard That's what I was thinking. When I reformatted my C drive and installed 2000 on it, I just migrated the stuff I wanted to save over to D, installed, and moved it back. No problems!It's your life, live it!

That is of course if IN FACT he has 2 hard drives and not 1 hard drive and 2 partitions, but, I've never heard of a computer formatting 2 hard drives at the same time.

jfields 0 #18 April 7, 2003 Quote RAID sees one 1 drive regardless the number of drives you have. Right, but you can actually format multiple drives at once.

Cajones 0 #20 April 7, 2003 Crap! I take a break from color-correction and motion tracking to check out the forums and look what I find... Justin is kicking ass on folding (hooray!!), and then I discover I missed an opportunity to hang out with the geeks! You guys even said "RAID..." Oh well, at least Justin made beer for us.
