Howdy,

I just installed windows xp and I can't get one of my partitions to mount as a drive. I can see it using the Disk Management as Stuff (volume label) 11.94 GB FAT32 Healthy (Unknown Partition). When in fdisk, I look at it and see that it's set as an extended dos partition. What can I do to get this data (300 books, all of the futurama and family guy episodes)?

Was it a partition that you have created with another OS? Or moved over from another machine? Maybe you can try to "import" the partition under computer management. Well it's a function under w2k anyway not sure if it's there in XP or not.
