HD not detected on install

[Guest]

I have a system with two Hard Drives (C and F). I have Windows XP installed on the C drive, however I want to install XP on the F drive and clean the C drive out. When I run setup to do a fresh install, I click the radio button to "prompt me for the drive to install XP to" however, when I get to the part where I choose which drive to install XP to I only have the option to install to the C drive. The F drive is not in the list. Can anyone help ?

Dennis, is the F: drive partitioned? When I added another drive it was
already partitioned and so whenever I needed to
reinstall WinXP it would see all the partitions available.

Rich, Yes it is partitioned in one Primary Partition.

Dennis,
I have the same problem. My c drive is on NTFS? and my pc
cannot recognize my d drive. I think it is still on Fat
32.
Pl. let me know once you find a way to resolve this.
Thanks
Bill

Ok Bill, But I'm not making much headway at this point. As for your issue I don't think that having your D drive set up as FAT32 would cause this issue. I've reformatted my F drive (equavalant to your D drive) several times to no avail.
