Hard Drive Problem
Hi,
I have just installed XP on a new hard drive and decided to partition it 100Gb and 60Gb. All that is showing is the 60Gb in "my computer".............what have I done wrong?
My first time on XP as well. About time too been running ME for too long
TIA
DoM

Did you format it as 100 and 60, or 60 and 100?
Try right clicking on My Computer > Manage > Disc Management. You will see the physical hard drives in the lower part of right window (Disk 0 is the first (or only) hard drive), and on the right of the physical drive number are the partitions it contains. The 100gig will probably be there, and assumingyou have already formatted it, will show the file system used (FAT32/NTFSshowing Healthy but without a drive letter allocated. Right click on the partition and select "Change Drive Letter and Paths". The rest should be self-explanatory. Once you have assigned a drive letter, you should see it in My Computer.
