Topic: Only first partition of external HD displaying in WinXP... [SOLVED]

The subject line says it all, but I'll detail.

I got a MyBook USB2 250GB external hard drive for Christmas. I downloaded gparted liveCD (said 3.3 on sourceforge, but 0.3 on boot) and partitioned my hard drive into 3 primary partitions, and an extended partion subdivided into two logicals. They are all FAT32. When I booted back into WinXP, all the partions displayed in My Computer, but when I looked again a couple of hours later, only the first partition (a primary partition) was there.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Cheers anyway, but it's working now... smile Bit weird, though. I'll mark the topic as "solved".
