| 404112 | 2005-11-13 19:10:00 | yes it does show hidden partitions........ | drcspy (146) | ||
| 404113 | 2005-11-15 20:43:00 | thanks for help but yes i had done that and have found that the partition is there and also i could format it. but as i cant see it showing anywhere else on my pc if it was formated would i be able to use it.... how do i put stuff in it if it doesnt show on right click or on "my computer" it is more to be able to access sit too that i need... | hammer (1735) | ||
| 404114 | 2005-11-15 22:03:00 | if you access and format it as I've siad it'll show up after that in 'my comptuer'......and be perfectly usable | drcspy (146) | ||
| 404115 | 2005-11-16 00:49:00 | thanks i was a bit worried it wouldnt... but why cant i get it to show anywhere now | hammer (1735) | ||
| 404116 | 2005-11-16 00:54:00 | It doesn't show anywhere now because it isn't usable. There's no Windows file system on it, so there's no way for Windows operations to use it. That's to avoid confusion. ;) It will appear only when it is properly formatted so that Windows can use it. |
