Hard drive not formatting full capacity
just stuck a 2nd 80gb hd into the pc but vista is only recognising it as 30gb, how do you get it to format to the full 80gb?
|
is your bios up to the job?
|
Yep sounds like a bios issue to me as well. If you go into the bios, what does it list the drive as?
|
Also take a look here...
Microsoft Corporation If you are formatting the drive as fat32 instead of ntfs, then Vista seems to have a 32gb limit on partition sizes. I've no idea why, but personally I'd use ntfs anyway, (it's much more efficient). |
sorted it, was one of dells bios peculiarities...
