   I installed both Partition Manager Server. The program, after installation, showed only my external hard drive. It did not show both of my internal hard drives. Any advice what I should do to have all my hard drives shown?

   Just to see if that program is only for a server, I installed the regular Partition Manager 1.6.33 Demo, and t too showed only the external hard drive.

   Thanks. Skylark

   What are the internal drives (how are they configured & what interface etc) Are they RAID drives, or is there anything unusual about how they are connected (or your BIOS settings)?

   Skylark. Are you a Vista user? I don't see any mention of Vista support at the Easeus site.

   It also apparently does not support anything other than windows operating systems.

   edit --- sorry Bubby, I was pondering my answer & searching the Easeus site

   Hi BuBBy & GSM, sorry that I did not describe the internal drives. No my internal drives are not RAID drives, they are regular Western Digital IDE/ATAPI drives. configured as NTFS, The OS is Windows XP Home SP2. As far as I know, they are connected as usual. Part Mgr was installed on the C:\ drive.

   First I thought that since it is Part. Manager Server, that it does not recognize the 2 internal drives. So, I uninstalled it and installed the Partition Manager 1.6.3 Demo (not for server) again on drive C:\. The same results, only the external drive shown in the disk map.
   Just now I uninstall it and re-install Part Mgr Server on the external drive. When it ran, it showed the external drive only.

   Thats what it is probably....You have to most likely install the program on the local drive....The one that contains your operating system....C: usually

   If you install on the external, the program cannot hook into your mbr or windows

   sorry. I misunderstood your post.

   If you have 2 hard disks.....Make sure you install this program on the same drive that your XP is

   Why exactly are you performing the partitioning feat? It is completely unnecessary unless you have a linux or other os to install

   Hi GSM,

   The first 2 times I installed the Part Mgr, it was installed in the default folder Program Files on the C:\drive where the OS is. This installation shows only the external drive.
   The reason I wanted to run Part Mgr is that my second internal hard drive has a 5 GB partition on the 160 GB HD. When I formatted this HD in the beginning I did not specify any partitions. Unfortunately, this 5GB NTFS partition is not accessible. Disk Management does not give a drive letter to this partition. The description just says "Healthy". A drive letter was only assigned to the main remaining partition of about 148 GB. So, I wanted to combine this unaccessible 5 GB partition to the rest of the drive. Any other possibiliy possibility? Thanks
