Partition Mirror?

[neoslick]

Last night I formatted my computer and created 3 partitions on it. I've never had more than 1 partition on this computer before and now i'm running into a problem.

First I created a 7gb primary partition for Windows (I know... way overkill), then I created an extended partition with 2 logical partitions both divided the same amount. I installed Windows XP on the C: and downloaded a few drivers exe's as well. This morning I looked at the D: and E: drive and noticed they both have the EXACT same files as the C: drive. Does anyone have any idea why this would happen? I'm trying to figure out if this is a Windows, BIOS, or harddrive issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are still unable to figure this out try posting the question in the Hardware Forum.

Good Luck!
