Hello. I recently re-installed XP Pro on my home system. I had one disk
broken into 2 drive letters (C & D). I just added a Seagate 160GB USB
Drive. When I installed it I noticed the USB drive was one FAT32
filesystem. So I removed that partition and created 2 80GB partitions.
Each time I created the new partion on this UDB drive I received an error
message that the format failed, but the disk showed up as "Healthy". Once
the partitions were completed I noticed drive C and D in the Disk Management
utility are there but the volume names are gone. In Explorer, C and D show
up as expected (with the correct drive letters), but Disk Management utility
does not. I performed a system retore to no avail. Any ideas would be
appreciated.

Thanks.

C and D in the Disk Management utility are there but the volume names are
gone.
Volume names?

In Explorer, C and D show up as expected (with the correct drive letters)?
