  The CONVERT program is to convert from FAT to NTFS. You don't want to run
that right now.

  Can you boot a DOS floppy and see D:? How is the 3.2G physically connected
(if IDE, is it primary, secondary, master, slave??) Are your BIOS settings
correct for the drive (usually AUTO is best.) Was it always your D:, or did you
move it from another computer? Have you applied SP4?
