Hi,

1. How can I access Win. XP Pro. (SP2) (on a SATA) under Win. 2000 Pro. (SP4) (on a IDE)? When I click on the Win. XP drive (D:\) under W2K, it tells me it's not formatted. Under Win. XP (C:\) I can access it and also W2K (D:\).

2. Why does W2K detect the SATA (320GB) as 128GB (under Computer Management)? The SATA drive site gives no help.

3. Under W2K (Computer Management) I selected "Make Partition Active" for Win. XP thinking it will give me access to Win. XP ... now XP does not boot.

Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance.

I think a few more details on your set up are needed here.
Do you have one 320 Gb SATA drive partitioned for W2K and XP or are they separate physical disk ? If so how are they partitioned.
