Hi,
Just got a Samsung SP2514N 250gb as a storage disk. It's mounted as a slave.
I've initialized the disk, and can see it in "my computer". Problem is that
it only sees it as a 32gb drive.
I'm running XP home, and am on SP2.
I obviously want to access the entire drive capacity. Any idease please?
Many thanks.
Anna has covered the jumper settings.
If you have not used that jumper setting, check the drive in Disk
Management again, you should see the rest of the drive as "unallocated
space" or RAW. When using XP to prepare a FAT32 volume, it will limit
those partitions to 32GB.
If you want larger FAT32 partitions, use a different tool to prepare the
drive. Otherwise, start over. Delete partitions, recreate and then
format as NTFS. NOTE: The existing partition can be converted to NTFS
but it will still be 32 GB in size.
