Re: Help!! hardisk problem !!

I had upgrade the XP into SP2,
my PC recongized all the capacity of the 300GB hardisk,
BUT! it stills shows wrong information about the drive.
In computer management is shows there are only 2 partition in
this hard drive. One is 128GB and the other one is 151.46GB.

I am afraid that the partitions I made was Dynamic disk, but i am really
not sure, I just click click and click when i made the partitions by default
in XP.
I think I have to make sure what is the partitions i made, Basic or Dynamic?

Now, information shows the 128GB partition has a drive letter D.
And the other partition shows unlocated !
What is the problem ????

Hi !!

I had reinstalled my winxp professional to the pc, which I had two
hardisks.
1. 80GB 2. 300GB
My original os was on the 80GB one, so I format it and reinstalled the xp
onto it.
My 300GB hardisk was used to save all my personal files, and was
partitioned
into 4 partitions.
they are D,E,F,G drives.

The horrible thing happens when I had reinstalled the xp again and restart
the pc.
It cannot recongized the 300GB hardisk, it shows that it is a RAW hardisk
and has only 128GB
of size!!!!! and it gives the drive only one drive letter D.
I forgot the file system i formated for the 300GB hardisk months ago, but
it
must not be fat32.

I am going to die !!!!! cause all my DC photos, works, ....... are inside
that hardisk!!!!!
any methods ???
pls pls pls help me !!!! :(

best regards
herman

get a copy of partition magic - it will re-identify your partitions - it
probably says 128gb as that is the free space left so your data is still
there.
