| 333420 | 2005-03-12 09:46:00 | Is this happening in IE6 alone or other programs such as Word, NotePad, WordPad etc? | zqwerty (97) | ||

| 333422 | 2005-03-12 09:50:00 | You may not get anymore out of it. I use a 120gb sata and only see 111 gb of it. This is in 2 partitions. And out of a 80gb I can only see 74.99 gb. This is also in 2 partitions. Try cleaning the temp files / crap off your system You may get more Try this http://www.ccleaner.com Its free. You'll be surprised how much crap can get on your system! I see what you are saying but surely there wouldn't be a difference of 30GB. Before I formatted i used to see 159GB |

| 333423 | 2005-03-12 09:52:00 | Could be used by the restore disk to hold info on the HDD, can you see any partitions? I don't think so, or I didn't see any after format . How would I check, back to the repair function on the xp disk? |

| 333424 | 2005-03-12 09:54:00 | As I understand it, any partition greater than 7Gig will cause this to happen, you effectively lose your hard drive size, so for a 40Gig hard drive you need to make 6 partitions around 6.9Gig progressively reducing down to about 5.5Gig to make best use of the hard drive. There is a name for this it has something to do with FAT 32, NTFS limitations. |

Before I formatted i used to see 159GB" Not likely formatting a 160 gig hardrive would takeup a lot more than a gig more likely 12-15 gigs |

| 333426 | 2005-03-12 11:40:00 | Go into Computer Management (Start / Settings / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Computer Management) and see if you've got a second partition there. | Greg (193) | ||
