I had to work late tonight so I probably won't get to work on it until tomorrow.

Hey TaZ, I chose Fat32 just because it is what I have used in the past. It probably wasn't the best choice. I could just save my data to an external drive and re-format the drive however I am going to try and solve it first with your help in case anyone else runs into it.

I will let you all know how it goes. Thanks for your help.

I wrote down exactly how I partitioned the drives but I can't find the darn paper.
I checked the output from one of the commands you had me do and believe this to be the drive that doesn't show up:
Disk /dev/sdc: 74.3 GB, 74355769344 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9039 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0007bc34

I remember the storage drive was the third drive and there were three partitions; swap, root and home. Sorry I couldn't get back sooner. I worked a couple of late ones.

I may just need to save my data to an external and reformat the drive. This time I will use NTFS and write down the exact partitions again but keep it in a safe place.

Is the best way to re-format the drive to use the install disk again?

Thanks
