Attempting to create three FAT32 partitions on a 250GB external FW drive (Maxtor 5000xt). Can create the partitions using Fdisk and Format under Win98. The partitions function properly in Win98. Win XP home recognizes all the partitions and logical drives but only recognizes the first as formatted. The other all appear as unformatted. I have tried many variations (all primary partitions, one extended with three logical, smaller first partitions, etc...) but the result is always the same. Mac OSX sees the same thing by the way
Any idea why Win XP can't see the second partition/logical drive (and third or fourth) on such a drive
Again, Maxtor 5000xt, external FW drive partitioned and formatted under Win98SE then mounted on Win XP Home system. I have tried mounting as IDE 2.0, by the way, with same result. FW chain is Adaptec DuoConnect
Thanks
