Hi,

I have a Win XP 1.1hertz 512 ram with 40 gig hardrive. A few days ago I installed an additional 80 gig Maxtor drive, & everything had been working perfectly for a few days, but today I opened explorer to navagate to some files & it didnt display my D, E, & F dirve (CD burner, DVD burner, 80 ghig hardrive), yet it magically displays another drive labeled: DVD drive G:
The drives havent disappeared or stopped functioning, I can navaigate to them but i have to manually type in thier address in the explorer address bar.

IE: F:\Bobs files

If I open a program like MS Word, & try to open a file it wont list & let me access the D, E, F: drives. I dodnt know if this has anything to do with it, but I noticed when I installed the hardrive that my originall drive was a fat32 drive & the new one was an NTFS drive. Does anyone know what has happened or how I can fix this? Im a rookie at this stuff so anyone needs any info I listed my registry with a software called hijack this below:

If I have the wrong forumn, please excuse me & could someone direct me to the proper one.

Thank you
 
did you try unplugging the hdd from the motherboard and reconnecting the IDE cables as well as power cables and maybe reseting the jumper on the HDD?
