I know this error I'm suggesting is hard to do, I think fdisk tries to
prompt you into not skipping creating logical drives, but if you create an
extended partition like you did for E: and did not set up the logical drive
correctly, Windows will not see an E: drive.  Peter is correct, Windows
should see a non-formatted drive, just not access it.  Go back into fdisk
and look at the logical drive creation again.

More on this issue:

I was able to get my disk formated using the delpart utility and the maxtor
utilities.

However, in doing this, I partitioned my C drive into 2 20G partitions
(Computer called them C and E, with D drive being my 2nd HD).  Now, I only
see the C (20G) and D(20G), but I don't see the E (2nd partition of the 40G
HD).  In fdisk, I see it and it looks healthy and as if it will show up in
WinME.  I hate to ask, but did I forget an important step?

TIA
Marshall
