[whare]

Hi all

Right here is the problem I have a 120Gig HDD I installed it as a secondery when i went into wondows it stated that the drive had 40Gig space (note the drive was empty) I have since placed it in another PC as a primary and it is still not showing the extra 80Gig I carnt find any partitions or anything tred flashing bois but no joy (Dont ask what my mother board is coz i carnt remember off the top of my head)


Any help would be great

Thanx

Check if there is a jumper on the back of that HD, that limits it to 32GB.
Also, you might need an update of your BIOS, so it can recognise such a big HD.

well the HDD has been placed back in the PC it came out of befor i made it a secondary and i have put the jumpers back the way they was befor i took it out as i said in my first post i have tried flashing the bios

Check those jumpers anyway. They may have limited the HD in the old PC as well.
Also it would help if you give us HD, mobo and OS details.
YOU have the problem, not us!
