Partitioning and mouse trouble

[Yozhik]

Just finished building my first computer, and it seems to work! When installing windows I partitioned my hard drive 100/900 Gig, I formatted the 100 but how do I access the rest? Also my mouse keeps freezing. It worked perfectly on my old system. My new graphics card seems to be recognised and working but I never disabled the on board graphic chips, how do I do this? There is no option in the bios.

You on XP, Vista or 7?

XP professional

Go to start, run, type diskmgmt.msc and press enter. Select the partiton, right click and format, assign it a drive letter or use the one that it gives you. I'm on Win7 so there might be an extra step in there, not 100% for sure.

With your mouse, it may be drivers that need updating. Check you mobo manufacturer's site for the latest chipset/USB drivers.

Thanks for that. Any ideas about why my mouse could be freezing or turning off my graphic chips?

oops missed that =) ok, so on the asus website there are lots of updates. Should I download one by one or will the latest update solve all the issues?

I would do the latest and greatest

Thanks. How do I know if my integrated graphics chips aren't interfering with my graphics card?
