Hi Dixonian69, Thanks for any help!
Here is the lay out of the Computer Management/Disk Management Screen Volume Layout Type File System Status Capacity C: Partition Basic NTFS Healthy (System) 7.87GB New Volume Partition Basic NTFS Healthy (Active) 7.87GB Disk 0 is my C: Disk 1 is my D: but it doesn't show any drive letter. It just shows "New Volume" I hope this is all the information you need. Like I said in my first e-mail I can see my D" (New Volume) in my BIOS but not in Windows XP Thanks again for any help!

Hi Dixonian69,
Thanks for the help, I did try the diskpart command and the list volume command and this is what I received on the list. Volume# Ltr Fs Type Status Info Volume 0 E CD-Rom Volume 1 C NTFS Partition Healthy System For some reason it doesn't show my D: but it does show the D: in my BIOS. Do you have any other ideas?

Hi Dixonian69,
It show up in Device Manager and Disk Management and the BIOS. I did try the List Disk command and it doesn't show up there. I think I might know what the problem is but not sure how to fix it. I remember the c: drive had GoBack installed and when Windows XP was reinstalled it didn't put back the GoBack driver, I'm guessing here. I will have to go to the Symantec web site to research this. This might be the reason I can't see the D:. I'm not sure how to remove GoBack from the D:. Do you think this could be the problem. Thanks you for your help!

truly interesting phenomena!!
shows in device manager but won't with list disk command. maybe a group policy issue? Check this out!! To make changes to this policy for one of the seven default values: Start>Run>gpedit.msc Open the following sections: User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, and Windows Explorer. Click Hide these specified drives in My Computer. Click to select the Hide these specified drives in My Computer check box. Click the appropriate option in the drop-down box. These settings remove the icons representing the selected hard disks from My Computer, Windows Explorer, and My Network Places. Also, these drives do not appear in the Open dialog box of any programs. This policy is designed to protect certain drives, including the floppy disk drive, from misuse. It can also be used to direct users to save their work to certain drives. To use this policy, select a drive or combination of drives in the drop-down box. To display all drives (hide none), disable this policy or click the Do not restrict drives option. This policy does not prevent users from using other programs to gain access to local and network drives or prevent them from viewing and changing drive characteristics by using the Disk Management snap-in. See if policy exist and set to "Not Configured". "Dick" wrote: > Hi Dixonian69, > > It show up in Device Manager and Disk Management and the BIOS.

Hi Dixonian69,
The problem turned out to be GoBack. GoBack modify the Master Boot Record/ Partition Table, you need some type of driver to view the GoBack drive. Once I was able to remove the changes to the Master Boot Record/Partition Table, I can now access the D:. I would like to thank you for taking the time to help me. Happy Holidays!
