Solve : SLAVE 40gig but....?

Answer»

cant see it was a 40gig. and im pretty sure its 40gig and its in label of the HD

i install a second hand samsung 40gig HD (it came from pc in my work, coz they upgrade to 80gig)

when i click My Computer i see only:

Drive C: its my OS and its not partitioned

slave in partitioned:
Local Disk (E): Free space: 1.12gig Total Size: 1.17gig
Local Disk (F): Free space: 9.68gig Total Size: 9.76gig
Local Disk (G): Free space: 9.68gig Total Size: 9.76gig

(and i DONT know why its in partitioned)

So meaning, the 20gig is missing
Can someone HELP where can i get that back?

OS: XP SP2
P4 1.6gigIt may not be properly detected by your machine because:

  • The HDD is damaged
  • The BIOS is not properly configured
  • You set a jumper that makes it smaller in size (Check sticker on top of HDD)
now all is okey coz of this.....

[highlight]The remaining 20Gb probably isn't partitioned, meaning that windows will not LIST it. Open start->run, type diskmgmt.msc and press enter. You should now see both drives listed. Your windows disk, probably Disk0 will have only one part on its bar (the graphic disk representation at the bottom of the screen), as it has only one partition. The other disk, Disk1, should have 4 parts on its bar, 3 partitions and the remaining unallocated space.
Now from this second disk, delete all partitions (if you haven't USED them already). Create a new partition with the maximum allowable size and format it with FAT32 or NTFS, whatever you like the most. Assign a drive letter if windows doesn't do it automatically and you're set.

Thanks for all the help
That was the fourth option I somehow failed to mention.
