| 657625 | 2008-04-10 06:06:00 | I have just installed Windows 2000 sp2 to see what it is like. It is on the 2nd primary partition on a 140gig drive. There are 4 logical drives, 1 NTFS, 1 EXT2, 2 Fat32. The Fat32 contain Data & should be visible to most Windows systems. When XP is booted (partition1) all other partitions are visible in the disk manager. With Windows 2000 all partitions are visible except the 4th logical Fat32. Disk Manager shows it as an unallocated space. Puppy Linux in the Ext2 partition mounts all. Why should this be? |

| 657627 | 2008-04-11 06:14:00 | Updated to SP4 + later updates. Still does not see the 4th logical partition and crashes when a Browser fetches a page. (both IE6 & Firefox) The IE6-sp1 is an update on IE5. It also tends to say that a file is not Win32. It did this several times before SP4 would install.:help: |
