Solve : Formatting Hard Drives GAAK!!!? |
|
Answer» I'm new at this. I want to do a clean start on a hard drive I came across at our local landfill site. I erased & reformatted it but it only came out as a .49 gig hard drive. I did someting WRONG. It's going to be used in a window98SE system as the primary drive. The HD is a Maxtor N256 Model 51023H2 searching says it's a 10.2 gig drive. Lots to learn here. Any help would be most appretiated. Thanks.I'd say run scandisk to see whether there are bad sectors on it. Are you SURE the drive is not partitioned and you haven't seen all partitions? Maybe should see How to Use the Fdisk Tool and the Format Tool to Partition or Repartition a Hard Disk. Quote from: Peema on April 28, 2007, 08:46:03 AM I'm new at this.

It'll be interesting to see whether he's able to find the rest of that drive space.Would RecoverMyFiles help? Just to see what he's up against? FDisk is the answerI'm new at this.

I could go for some extra disk space, but I don't know if I'm that desperate.Recycling is ENVIRONMENTALLY responsible.I'm new at this. I want to do a clean start on a hard drive I came across at our local landfill site. Did you happen to find a boot disk at the landfill? You need it to Fdisk and format. Here-Is-A-File-To-Make-One |
