| 555107 | 2007-06-01 09:30:00 | Hi, I'm loading software on a new system . Its an intel core 2 duo E6600 2 . 4 4mb with a Gig GA 965P-S3 Intel 965P ATX m board with 2gig ram, 320 gig HD, GE FOrece 7600GT, dvd writer etc . Have loaded XP Home, very early version 2002 . Needs service pack 1 . Can't download until I set it up for the net . Have also loaded Office XP Pro . I have a 320 Gig HD, but it only shows 120 Gig - I didn't partition, just left as one drive . Any reason for only 120 Gig showing in explorer? Then tried to upgrade chipset drivers but got an error message asking for a usbehci . sys file . I think its an issue or both XP and Vista systems and I need a patch from the MS site . I decided to install broadband - but while installing the software I recieved an error message "no ethernet card found" . Thats correct, because its onboard the motherboard . Anyway around this?! Really appreciate any helpful feedback . Cheers . :) |

| 555108 | 2007-06-01 09:36:00 | You have to go to the Gigabyte site (www.gigabyte.com.tw) then download / install the LAN drivers. For the version of Windows you're using. And whatever other drivers are needed. Thats if the mobo is a revision 1 mobo. What did u format the hdd in?? FAT32 or NTFS?? |

Any reason for only 120 Gig showing in explorer?That is because XP with no service packs could only "see" about 127 gigs during installation. This was corrected with the first service pack. You can still use the remainder of the drive by formatting it under Disk Management. To access this go Start > Run and enter in compmgmt.msc, and then click OK. Select Disk Management. The left over space should appear as unallocated on your drive. Right-click over it and select format. It will now appear as a new partition ready for use. It is a good idea anyway to keep your OS separate to your personal data on partitions as it makes it easy to reinstall the OS without having to worry about losing your personal stuff.
