| 233532 | 2004-05-02 01:01:00 | I have an 80gb western digital hard drive which was partitioned as a C: & D: drive with XP OS. I got a virus and finally deleted all partitions. I now find that fdisk comes up with 10781mb disk size which I suppose is a 10gb drive. Anyone know why, and how to change it to 80gb? I have no jumpers on drive, making it the single master. Thanks Guys! |

| 233534 | 2004-05-02 02:43:00 | Which fdisk are you using? Use the ME bootdisk from here (www.24by7.ca) as it does partitions larger than 60Gig. May pay to read up [url=http://fdisk.radified.com/fdisk_partition.htm]here[/url as it has a great explanation on using fdisk if you are interested.. |

| 233538 | 2004-05-02 10:13:00 | YOu have this sorted so that's good -- but I am not sure why you wanted to or needed to use DOS fdisk when XP has a partitioning option near the start of a new install? You can delete or make what ever new partitions you need. | JohnD (509) | ||
