Can Format FAT, but not NTFS with 3.51

Hello. I've got an interesting problem.  I have two IDE drives and each were formatted with 4 500 meg NTFS partitions when installed with NT 3.51.  Everything worked great for several months.

Then, out of the blue, I was unable to access the partitions on the second disk at all.  I finally re-partitioned them using Disk Manager and tried to reformat.  When I do this it says "0K available" and marks the disk as "RAW".

But get this--I can format using FAT and it works fine.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

Each disk has only one partition, right?

No, each disk has 4 500 meg partitions.
