I have a 200 gig Seagate drive. I had in in 2 partitions, one 20gig that I formatted through windows as the boot disk and then the remainder which I setup through the seagate diagnostic utlity.

I just put a fresh copy of XP on the same 20 gig drive and now windows says that it doesnt know the type of drive that the other partition is. It says it is a raw unformatted drive, when I have about 160 gigs of stuff on there.

What can I do to make windows see this drive correctly. I dont want to rerun the seagate diagnostic, I am scared that my data will be over written...

Any suggestions?

thanks, i actually got it all to work out for me... but i still have one problem.

the whole reason why i even reformatted was because when i was away from xp for more than 45 minutes my computer will not log back on. the screen saver disappears and i left with a black monitor with a blinking monitor light.

Any ideas why XP wont come back? When the screen saver is on it will come back but when XP shuts the monitor off it wont let it come back. I disabled XP from shutting the monitor off but it still seems to do it and that when i cant get back on.

I just installed new ram from NewEgg.. Do you think this could be the issue?
 
agreed. I'd go into your power management and disable sleep/hibernate/turn off HDDs/etc. Let it turn off the monitor to avoid burn in (not that that is really too much of a problem these days), but see the rest to never, or like 5 hours or something. See if that helps.
