| 154726 | 2003-06-24 07:21:00 | I have a 60GB Seagate harddrive, that I portitioned into 1 x 20GB (C:) and 4 x 10GB (D:,E:,F:,G:,). Then I have a Zip drive (H:) and then the CD-Rom (I:). Just recently partion F: & G: were no longer there and the Zip drive and cd-Rom moved up to take their place. I reset the drive letters for the Zip & CD and after a bit of fiddling the lost partitions reappeared... for a day and disappeared again. I fdisked the drive as per above and all was fine... till this evening, lost partitons again. OS is Win ME, 2GHZ Celeron, 512MB ram, Asus P4B533 motherboard. There is stuff on partion G that I want to use, so if anyone has some idea whats gone wrong, and a way to fix it, i'd appreciate it | zeph53nz (4084) | ||
| 154727 | 2003-06-24 07:41:00 | Not using win 98 so ill try remember, in the control panel in one of the settings you can set available drive letters, as well as max drive letter. In dos you used to do this in config.sys by adding the line lastdrive=m or whatever. Give that a go if you can't find the one in the control panel. | rsnic (3780) | ||

| 154729 | 2003-06-24 08:47:00 | use this prog here (www.v72735.f2s.com). personally for that many partitions i wouldn't use fdisk. i would use something like ranish (http://www.ranish.com/). |
