I had a similar problem when i used fdisk to partition my hard drive but for
got to format one partition so windows did not recognize the logical drive.
Once I formated the logical drive it was then reconized by window.
just a thought

Subject: [SURVPC] somebody pinch me please?
hi folks,
well i would have used "you're not going to believe this," but
its already a thread.
i was talking over the inner workings of my computer tonight to
someone who had never seen a bios and so forth.
i discovered some strange things,
first i have a d drive, not formated, apparently, as when i try
to say do a directory, it says "drivenot ready," however, if i
do a "d:" i can get there with no affects.
2, after seeing this, i took a look at fdisk
according to fdisk, i have a primary partition and an extended
one with the following logical drive
d: unknown 126mg, 33%
that is paraphrased,
and the real kicker?
the remaining size of the extended partition is 1508 mg or so.
what is all this?
last try through,i thought we could not use the drive entirely.
now, i whould note that it says that the primary partition is at
100%
am i losingmy mind, and what can i do withthis?
i mean, if i tried to let fdisk play with the rest of the extend
partition, what would happen?
losing my heads, cylenders, and sectors over this lol
