I've been using a 500 GB disk 1 unit for a while now with XP, but I also do some disk maintenance with DOS programs. When booting into DOS drive is not visible. FDisk can see it is there and shows the ability of the bargaining unit, but states that there are no partitions defined. The three partitions on the disk logically extend NTFS-214GB, 245GB 18GB NTFS and FAT32 (should be E: in DOS).
Specifically in DOS using Ghost 2002 to create backup images of my OS. Each drive on IDE 0 has a FAT32 partition assigned to images. Also C: is FAT 32 which boot from DOS. So there should be 3 partitions obtainable to my DOS programs. C and D are visible in the disk-0 (232GB), but E: disk-1 (476GB) is not visible. Could there be a hardware / BIOS limit addressed here?
