I partitioned a Maxtor 60GB 7200 ATA133 drive into 5 sections C(2GB), D(12GB), E(12GB), F(12GB), G(22GB). Partitions are readable and usable in DOS. Installed Win98SE and it detects all logical drives and am able to read/write to C-F; however am unable to access drive G. A msgbox displays “ Unable to access. A device attached to this drive…..” The drive is on a cable by itself attached to the primary IDE of a Gigabyte GA-7DXR+. The Performance tab also indicates that drive G is using ms-dos compatability mode. I don’t know if this is a Win98SE problem or a setting with the motherboard since the error message does relate to a device attached to G:. Thanx in advance for your thoughts.
