I was under the impression that the drive had to be formatted before
it could be accessed and installed to.
2 others before me have said the same thing. All drives have to be
partitioned & formatted 1st prior to install a Windows OS but since 2k
all Windows OSes installs will do this for you. Why are you using
Fat32? IIRC Fat32 was NOT originally supported with 2k but was added
with subsequent service packs. If my memory is correct & you're trying
to install with an original 2k disk it's no wonder it won't see your
partition/format information.
OK, I converted a partition to NTFS and it still will not recognize it
as a compatible partition.
I Deleted a partition in W2000 setup screen and it comes back as an
unformatted partition.
It will not recognize this partition or format it.
I am going around in a circle.
I have a lot of files on the third partition on the disk, so I do not
want to reformat the whole disk.
I must have a blind spot on this issue.
