Similar to hogislander's post on 2/8/06, but with some differences. I am.
running XP with NTFS on the master drive. I just added a second drive (I
want the data from it), which is FAT32. Microsoft claims that XP should work
with FAT32, but the drive doesn't show up in Explorer.
If I go to cmd prompt and enter e: (my primary drive takes up c: and d:), I
get 'The device is not ready,' [If I enter f:, I get 'The system cannot find
the drive specified'] This is basically confirmed by Disk Management, where
the drive shows up as 'basic FAT32 partition, healthy(active);' however, I
cannot assign a drive letter (that option is grayed out).
If I go into 'diskpart' the drive shows up as 'Hidden: Yes,' and shows 1
partition which it claims is the entire disk (4GB), but it also indicates
that there is 'No volume associated with this partition'
One interesting tidbit: In disk management:
'volume list' shows capacity as 955MB, 60MB free; but 'graphical view' or
'disk list' shows capacity as 4.03GB, 0MB unallocated.
I want the data on the drive, that's it. Any ideas? Thanks.
