Title: drive is listed in blue text in my computer
Post by: dj howard on May 06, 2005, 09:19:46 AM

Hi!  This is probably a very silly question but I recently added a 250 gb slave drive to my system. I partitioned the drive into 3 approximately 77 gb sections

When I look in "My Computer", the first partition on the drive (D drive) is listed in blue text while everything else in My Computer remains in black text.

Why is this?

Blue normallly means "compressed" in NT, 2000, and XP. (You don't mention your OS).  But that is in explorer view.  Since I don't normally compress entire drives I am not positive the drive would show that way in My Computer is the whole drive was compressed.
