| 800728 | 2009-08-13 08:20:00 | So, what else is it showing in disk management? Just 33mb?? What version of windows is it, and what SP is installed? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 800729 | 2009-08-13 08:21:00 | ive also found a couple of programmes which supposedly bring the capacity back up but they only support 32bit OS's and im using 64bit win7 | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 800730 | 2009-08-13 08:23:00 | So are there any unallocated entries in disk management? If there is, select them / format them | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 800731 | 2009-08-13 08:24:00 | thats what i see | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 800732 | 2009-08-13 08:26:00 | dammit that pic sucked, il try again | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 800733 | 2009-08-13 08:29:00 | Too small to read. Is it plugged into a SATA 2 port? Is it the PC in your sig? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 800734 | 2009-08-13 08:29:00 | so in disk management under drives is my windows drive only and disk0 (which is the 1tb) shows as 33mb unallocated, i can format that but only to 32.9mb |

| 800735 | 2009-08-13 08:30:00 | yep in my desktop | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 800736 | 2009-08-13 08:39:00 | Seems to be an issue with WD creating an HPA This can fix it, but its for 32bit only.. hdd-tools.com I suggest you return it and get a new one. You can also try swapping cables and SATA ports Blam |
