Hi...
Well i just recieved my new 80 Gb Hard Drive, and installed it, put on Win XP etc etc, and i looked in XP's Computer Management and it says that i have 2 primary partitions on the one drive - is that normal??? I don't think so...
This is what it says...
.......................|.......................| -----Extended Partition-----|
Primary Partition | Primary Partition | Logical Drive | Logical Drive |
-------C:-------|--------D:-------|------E:-----|------F:-----|
It doesn't report any errors, neither does Partition Magic 7.0...
I thought you were supposed to have 1 primary partition, and the rest was an extended partition containing logical drives???
Or am i a complete buffoon, and this is all normal and ok???
Hope i explained myself properly....
Cheers...
