Well i just got a brand new Maxtor 80Gb and ive installed windows on it and some programs for a total of 7gb.But weirdly,the available space displayed is only 45gb.It should be at least 70?
What can be the problem pls?
well ive reeinstalled windows once ,but it cleaned the first windows and installed a new one.Since that i get these "wrong" informations.Ive reeinstalled often on my old HD and it never did it.IF i would have made a partition by mistake,how can i see it??
Go to your control panel, click administrative tools, click computer management, and in the left-hand sidebar, there should be a disk management option. From there, you can do everything relating to disk partitions.
went in control panel just like you said and all seem ok...only 2 hard-drives,same weird infos.Dunno how to boot in dos with XP.Damn ive only 3 games and winRar installed for 30gb..mmh
ive installed windows on the other HD to format the 80gb,but it said it was impossible
ok i did that vance it worked that time.But when i deleted it i couldnt see it anymore on the list so i couldnt set as active...i reeinstalled it as 'dynamic'. C: still basic...is there a difference between basic and dynamic?
