Hi forumers here...
Recently i created a Dual-Boot (Win98SE &WinXP). I have 2 HDD, 80gb(7200rpm) & 20gb(5400rpm). The 20gb is for storing MP3s and video files.. Ok so when i fresh installed win98SE, it detected a non-fat32 partition(which is referring to my 20gb storage hdd). From then onwards, it always prompted me to format 'D' drive(i think thats the NTFS volume) but always gets error.. I decided to load NTFS drivers so that everytime when i boot into win98, the wierd drive will be normal again..accessible.. i thought everything was smooth.....until,
I installed Win XP SP2(slipstreamed fresh install), then there's this wierd Local Disk volume called Drive 'G'. I clicked on it, it says " The Drive G:\ is not accessible, the parameters are incorrect". I went to properties, and it says Format is RAW, 0 used space, 0 free space, cannot do anything with it, not even format..
I really wonder why there's this extra Wierd local disk volume appearing on Windows XP.. i only have 2 physical HDD, and 3 partitions..but this 4th one, made me bewildered
I hope people here can help me out ?
