Drive letter missing

Expand Post »
After many problems I decided to reinstall windows. I wiped my drive clean and reinstalled win 98se, got everything working except my second drive letter is missing in "my computer". Upon boot up bios recognizes the drive but I can't access it. I remember having to set it up last time, since this second drive is 120 gig and bios has a hard time recognizing drives this big with 98se. Can anyone help please?

Re: Drive letter missing

How is your drive formatted? You may have to partition it using fdisk if it has not been partitioned yet...

Re: Drive letter missing

My second hard drive was partiotioned it, was formatted, it was working perfectly before, and has tons of my files on it. The only thing I did was remove the c drive, use another computer to wipe it clean, put it back in my computer and reinstall windows. It should be fine I didn't even remove it from the computer.
