Windows 2000 has a native partitioning tool which you can upset by introducing DOS FDISK.
I would have booted the Windows 2000 CD and installed from that. Natively.

I had a computer program (Maxblast 3) that suggested my main HD was going bad. I replaced the "C" Drive with a larger one. I had to FDISK the new drive, then I reloaded the system Software - Win 2000. The new OS works fine. The second HD is now recognized as a FAT 16, 33GB drive though it was originally set-up as NTFS and has a Western Digital 250GB HD. It seems that the FDISK command passed to both HDs, making the second one not usable. Now what can I do? I would prefer to not format the second HD - lots of data & picture files. Is there a way that I can force the disk to be recognized as original??
Thanks in advance.
