Dave,

Win Me cannot natively read or access a drive that uses the NTFS filing
system so to use this drive you will need to remove the existing
partitions and start over and create a new partitions(s) using the FAT32
filing system. The tool to use here is FDISK.

For details of how to fdisk and format see the Microsoft Knowledge Base
article 255867 - "How to Use the Fdisk Tool and the Format Tool to
Partition or Repartition a Hard Disk"
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=255867) as well as the file
CLEANHD.TXT which is in the Win 9x folder on the Win Me CD and also as
KB271673 - "Windows Millennium Edition Cleanhd.txt File Contents"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=271673).
