Bruce the only way to change it back is to reformat the "d" drive as FAT32 (or delete and recreate it)... make sure you have a backup of it's contents first though as any data will be erased when you do this. |

The d drive cant be seen by using a dos disk or windows disk? I tried delpart but it can only see my c drive. thanks Bruce |

See my other post Stephen. Partition Magic allows you to convert any hard disk while preserving the OS/programs/data without problems. -- Tony Morgan |

Make sure you use PM v7 or later for XP as MS made slight tweaks to the XP version of NTFS. Another problem; If it contains existing files which are larger than 4GB, you'll have to delete them first (using XP), as FAT32 can't handle files larger than 4GB. HTH -- Rob |
