4385	2000-04-02 10:38:00	Because I'm not a network whizz, a friend of mine talked me through networking my NT workstation with a newly installed NT server using TCP/IP. I now have ended up with a really wierd problem. I've got 2 x 16GB drives The first is partitioned : C:NTFS (boot & NT) D:NTFS has all my data on it (10GB partition) E:NTFS scratch space. Second disk has F:NTFS Software G:NTFS Documentation Now if I log into the server in Win Explorer, I can see all the local drives on my workstation, but can't get access to D: (local disk on the workstation)at all. I can't see the properties etc. If I open disk administrator it shows the D drive partition correctly as 10GB, but of an unknown file system. All other partitions and drives are correctly shown. If I then go and log in under the old domain, in explorer, all drives including D: show correctly. I have tried: -removing shares on D: -no change -Security for d: is the same on D: as the others. -In security for d: I tried adding 'Domain administrator' - no change, -In security for d: I tried adding 'Everyone', full access - no change -I saved the correct disk administrator profile onto a floppy, then logged into the WORKGROUP domain and restored the disk profile from floppy - no change -I copied the entire D: to a folder on F:, then logged into the WORKGROUP domain and in Disk Admin tried to format the partition so I could copy everything back. Disk Admin wouldn't let me format 'Access denied'. I'm stumped, do you have any ideas? Mark	Guest (0)
