Here's my problem... I have two hard drives in my Dell PC. One is a 40 gig drive (C
which I use for the OS and various other junk. The other drive is an 80 gig (D
, which I use for files that I access often. After a routine reformat and reinstallation of XP Pro on the C:, I went to examine the contents of the D: from within XP and got the message "Drive is not formatted, would you like to format now?" The problem is this - the XP reformat tool showed only 35 gigs for the D: I'm sure that all of the stuff that I had on there before the reformat is still there, hence the decreased capacity. How do I reformat this second drive (D
? I have tried using the format command from a 98 bootdisk, and received the message "Format for this drive not supported." I would like both drives to be in the FAT32 format. When using fdisk to examine the contents of both disks, the C: was shown as normal. It was named drive 1. The other drive there (drive 2) showed only about a capacity of 2 gigs. How do I wipe everything from this second drive (D
so that it is accessible when using XP? Thanks in advance.
