This is just a guess out of the blue, but is there any way that you have a
      partition on both drives identified as the primary?


     I have just upgraded my hard drive from 10 GB to 27 GB.  I am running
Windows 98. The partitions were FAT 32. The 10 GB hard drive had 2
partitions with the extended partition divided with drive letters D and E.
I did not partition the new drive and transfered all my data from the old
drive to the new using Norton Ghost.  The transfer went ok but when I
connected the new drive I had just 2 drive letters C and D.  I ran FDISK
and divided my extended partition into 2 drives D and E like I did on the
old drive.  FDISK reports everything correctly.  Now when I start Windows I
only have drive letters C and D.  There is no E.  Windows reports the
capicity of drive D correctly the same way I split it in FDISK. FDISK shows
all drives as FAT 32 also.  What did I miss ?
