Has the drive been prepared for storing data, either by using the CD/floppy
disk that came with it or by using FDISK and FORMAT? -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Win9x] * PLEASE post all messages and replies in the newsgroups * for the benefit of all.

ME won't detect my hard drive
I'm having a similar problem, although my hard drive was
already installed and working, until windows me crashed and had to be reinstalled. Now i can see it in the bios, but not in windows. I don't want to format the drive, because it already contains data. Any thoughts?? -----Original Message----- Has the drive been prepared for storing data, either by using the CD/floppy disk that came with it or by using FDISK and FORMAT? -- Richard G.

Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager Remove ALL error-flagged devices Remove the IDE Master Controller(s) Remove ALL entries in the 'Other Devices' branch - if present Remove ALL instances of duplicated devices Reboot to normal Mode - Windows will reinstall required drivers (may take a couple of reboots, depending on how much you took out), and hopefully cure your problem Have you been playing with TweakUI? -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "bkoniers" wrote in message ...

ME won't detect my hard drive
I've got that problem too with two 80 G disks. If you
browse a bit you'll find that winme does not support big disks and that you'll have to patch something somewhere. I've read something about a FDISK64 instead of fdisk.I don't have too much time to spend on that. Take this as a hint. -----Original Message----- I'm having a similar problem, although my hard drive was already installed and working, until windows me crashed and had to be reinstalled.

Win Me has no problem whatsoever with 80GB hard disks, you may be thinking of
Win 98SE or earlier. On the other hand many older motherboards have problems with larger disks. Win Me can handle disks to around 137GB. You are correct though in part, it is essential that the user use Win Me's fdisk to partition their disk and not that from Win 98SE or earlier. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Alex wrote: I've got that problem too with two 80 G disks.
