    Ahhh. If you had filled the "Secondary" part of the miniform earlier with CD/DVD Drive, I wouldn't have been confused. xD

    Im going to do a full scan tonight, but I dont think it will solve anything, if it doesnt work, do you have any idea about what I should do?

    If WinME's full scan says no problem, but WinXP still doesn't like the drive, I'd think the partition table is screwed up. Easy way to fix it is delete all partitions and then recreate them, although you'll lose everything on the disk, so back up first.

    You could attempt to repair it by booting linux off a floppy disk and using sfdisk, but there's no guarantee that it'll work - I've tried repairing corrupt partition tables twice before with this method - the first time worked, the second time failed and resulted in all data on the disk being lost (which'll happen anyway if you choose the repartition method above instead).
