| 470398 | 2006-07-12 20:29:00 | I installed a 80gb western digital slave hard drive and it is a couple of years old and was running windows 98. I formatted it and installed it on my newer computer that is running Windows XP. It recognizes it ok but is only showing like 38 or 39 gigs. I know it has something to do with how it was partitioned for the older computer. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance. | Joe_Halt (10712) | ||
