Hard Disk Problem with M.E.

I have 2 seperate Harddrives and am running Win ME. The BIOS and M.E. pickup both Harddrives but a drive letter isnt allocate to the 2nd drive (should be "D") Tried:System/properties but the change letter area is greyed out. Tried:removing Drive (via ME) but just adds it in again. Tried: Disconnecting drive and running ME then reconnecting (to see if it will pick up new hardware) but no joy.
Worst thing is before i reloaded ME the drive was there and active.
Any help greatly appreciated.
:-)

I would say try and change the drive letter in safe mode and try and see what happens if you try and Map Network Drive. Does it say D is available to map? Does it map to other letters? Also try disabling it in your bios and rebooting and checking if D is available and then re-enable etc. The fact that it is greyed out is the disturbing part.

In the worst case.

Reformat,
Reinstall ME with 1 HD,
then try 2 HD, (BIOS shall auto pickup)

If ME don't pick up, try on other PC.

Sometime is the compatible of the brand.

Did u search your problem on the MS net

Red face Thanks

Thanks for all the replies. Eventually had to Fdisk and start from strach as nothing seemed to work
this has sorted it

Cheers and a Happy New Year from NZ to all..

You and everyone else who run into this type of problem should look into Partition Magic.
