| 1473980 | 2020-12-23 23:06:00 | I had an older lappy that died on me, so I bought an external hard drive case. Its a SSD 120 GB drive, so I pluged it in and could read it. Was the C drive. Thought best to format it as NTFS and it ended up at about 4.24 GB. Can anyone please advise what I'm doing wrong, so I can get my 120 GB back. Thank you |

| 1473981 | 2020-12-24 02:18:00 | Look at the drive in disk management not what you see in explorer, you may see your missing gigs there as the partition is still to be named. Search for disk management in the MS search box if you are using Win 10. |

| 1473983 | 2020-12-24 05:10:00 | As far as I can remember, right click the relevant partition in disk management and follow suggestions to name it, also make sure it is formatted to NTFS since you may not have done this partition. | zqwerty (97) | ||

| 1473986 | 2020-12-24 07:10:00 | Can you supply a screen shot of the Partition Program showing the drive please. BTW a 120GB SSD wont show as 120, maybe closer to 110 - 115. |
