I installed Windows 2003 server and Windows XP on my computer with 250GB hard drive. I partition the hard drive as follows:

C drive - 25GB (primary)
F drive - 25GB
G drive - 50GB
H drive - 50GB
I drive - 100GB

When I installed 2003, it only shows C, F, G, and H. Drive I is empty so I had to create a logical drive using Disk Management. I loaded all my music files in I drive.

Then I installed XP, also it only shows C, F, G, and H. Drive I is also empty. Why is it like this? I should be able to see drive I, right? So, anyway, I used Disk Management to create a logical partition I again.

So, what's happening is that my files created in 2003, cannot be seen when I use XP to boot up. In the other hand, my files created in XP cannot be seen when I boot my computer with 2003. This is for the I drive only. All other drives are ok- i can see files from either xp or 2003.

How can i fix drive "I" so that i can see files no matter what operating system i use?

Thanks in advance.
