Windows 2000 doesnt detect all my partitions......

I have 2 hard drives 120 GB and 250 GB, one drive has 6 partitions and other has 8.  Pri master = 120 GB and Pri slave = 250 GB.
But Windows 2000 doesnt show all the partitions.  it hardly shows 8 in all.  so what shud i know to view all the partitions??

I made partitions frm Symantec's partition magic 8.05, the partitions are NTFS ver 3.1

once i installed both hard drives at my frnds pc along with his.  he had windows xp which shown my 8 (250 GB) + 6 (120 GB) + 4 (his 4 partitions).

even when I install windows 2000 in blue screen, when it says select partition it doesnt show me all at that time too.

pls solve this issue.
