I got a new WD 320 GB IDE ATA hdd, but plugging it in as second drive (drive
"1") it shows up in Disk Management as "Unallocated" with size = 128 GB.
Help! Should I f-disk or format it? And why does the "WELCOME TO THE WRITE
SIGNATURE AND UPGRADE WIZARD" screen pop up wanting me to create a 'dynamic
disk'?
I'd sure like to get it installed as a 320Gb disk if that is possible. Or as
partitions that total that size if I must.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
