I recently had to reinstall Windows XP and after doing so my Primary Slave Drive which is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 IDE Drive is recognized in the Device Manager, also in Windows Explore but as a Removable Disk Drive and asks for a disk to be inserted and it also shows up in the Windows Disk Manager but has 3 partitions - 1 unallocated - 104.01 GB - 1 Healthy Unknown Partition - 811.57 GB and a second Healthy Unknown Partition - 259.39 GB which is almost 1175 GB of space on a 500 GB drive, doesn't make much sense? I have un-installed the drive and reinstalled it, also tried to change the IDE configuration, checked the jumper settings and they are OK. I am at my wits end because I have some valuable information stored on this drive I would and need to access. Can anyone help me? Thanks, azdragon
