Hi I have a dual boot windows/linux on my first hard drive which is IDE ATA. I have all my media files etc. on a seperate internal SATA drive which is configured into 3 NTFS partitions.
I recently rebuilt my windows install and then installed the VIA SATA drivers for my motherboard with the VIA hyperion 4-in-1 drivers and now I cannot access the disk through Windows. It just shows up as one drive, and when I double click it, I get a pop up error message, it says "Cannot access - invalid parameter" or very similar message.

I can still mount annd read the partitions in Linux so I know the data is good and still there, why would windows not be able to access it any more?

roycrom - duplicate posting is frowned on in these forums - can get confusing for responders.

I'll just include a link to original thread for cross referencing - thread602-1239120
