Re: Missing Hard Disc Space - HELP!



The message <e42uqd$ne8$1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
from "John Brown" <JohnBrown@xxxxxxxxxx> contains these words:

Just built a new unit...turned on today....all seems ok except, after
formatting the new hard drive - a Western Digital 320GB, its appeared as
only 127GB!
Any ideas how this could have happened and anything I can do to get the
full size back?

It would be a great help if you could supply more detail, such as OS
and version/SP level.

My guess, going from the tone of your question, is that the OS is
winXP. Since it's only a guess, I'll not waste my time trying to cover
_all_ possibilities until you at least supply the extra information
required to permit a more focussed answer.
