| 111399 | 2003-01-06 06:55:00 | Hi, a friend of mine has installed a new 20GB harddrive replacing his 1.2GB.The BIOS detected it ok and says its a 20GB but in Windows 98 My Computer or Windows Explorer it says its a 4.58GB. What can be the problem? Thanks, asdex |

| 111400 | 2003-01-06 09:26:00 | Well your 20Gig won't really be 20G in reality more like 18G. But 4.5G well you've taken a hit. I'm imagining that you havn't partioned it properly. Take a look at some partioning programmes like Partion Magic. Or read up on FDisk, i believe you will find something to help you in the FAQ section of pressf1 |
