I know this is "beating a dead horse..."

I believe that I've done everything in the format process...

    fdisk to partition the C drive (2 partitions C and E), and then format
to format the E drive. I still don't have the E drive accessible to me.



TIA, Marshall

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

Hi,
  It sounds as if you got the disk PARTITIONED into C: and E:, and C: has
obviously been formatted, as you are using it. If drive E: has not been
formatted, then even thought the partition exists for it, it will not be
usable until it has been FORMATTED.

HTH,
Peter Hogan
