    I'm feeling really idiotic at the moment, perhaps someone here can help? I just upgraded a Dell Server Machine from Windows NT Server 4 to Windows 2000 Advanced Server. While running on NT 4 the machine had two drive partitions. One small FAT partition for the OS and the rest of disk formatted NTFS. Now that I have Win2000 installed all I can see is the small partition, I seem to have "lost" the rest of the disk. How can I get the rest of disk formatted and partitioned so that it will show up? I have PowerQuest Partition Magic but it doesn't work with the server versions of Win2000. If anyone can help I will be eternally grateful! Thanks. Jon

      You of course need to go from NTFS 4 to NTFS 5. I'm not sure if convert will work or not.

        Ended up getting partition magic to work from some DOS Boot Disks so everything is OK now. I was really stressed for a moment, but the moment has passed! ;)
