I got two HDDs, one has 160GBs and the other 250GBs. Both are bi-partitioned (50-50) and for some reason, Windows 2000 ordered them as follow:
Disk1_Vol1 as C
Disk2_Vol1 as D
Disk1_Vol2 as E
Disk2_Vol2 as F
Drive E holds the Windows 2000 system files and is of NTFS format while all others are FAT32.
My problem is that Windows 2000 is screwing up Drive F; it reports the correct disc comsuption, but all files are on the root folder can't be read and all folders are empty.
If I boot the computer in Windows 98 SE mode, it doesn't even "see" Drive F.
Could this be because there's a NTFS-formatted drive before the FAT32 one? And is there a way to recover my files or there's no salvation short of formatting Drive F to NTFS (which will erase all files)?
