Solve : dell dimension hard drives?

Answer»

I have just been given a S/H DELL Dimension 4500 computer and I notice that this has TWO hard drives.

My question is how to access these two hard drives because only one the c: appears to be accessible.

one drive is a Maxtor 37 GB with unused and the other is WDC with189GB unused and it is this second drive that I cannot access..............

I guess this is quite a simple question but I don't want to change too many settings.

Obviously it would be great to use all that space....................

The operating system is Windows XP
Does it boot to XP ? ?
If so right click My Computer and select Manage...then Disk Management...
FIND the WD drive )probably D: ) and right click it and select Properties...
Report back with your findings.

It may just be empty.Quote from: eddiewa on February 22, 2009, 03:52:51 PM

If you can't access it, how do you know how MUCH unused space is on it?
