Hey Guys,
I've had a maxtor 40GB hard drive for sometime now. Had full capacity.
I then wanted to try linux, so i installed it. Could use both xp and Linux Debian.
Decided one day to delete it and keep xp. Deleted the Grub?? Linux aswel then realised i had to format the mbr. So i did it.
Now my 40GB hdd only shows as 31GB.
I formatted the hard drive again and reinstalled xp but same problem. I would normally get around 38-39GB formatted on FAT32 or NTFS.
But i keep getting 31GB. Is there a way to edit something to recognise the drive is a 40GB drive?
Thanks for any help
