Answer» Hi,
I am installing XP for the second time on my HDD. In my previous install I had the following partitions:
Primary (sys and boot) 3 GB
Extended - 8 GB (created just goofing around with Disk Mgmnt utils).
I later DELETED the Extended partition using Diskpart. Also, I later blew away XP using FDISK on a bootable floppy since I wanted more space than just 3 GB for sys and boot partition. Then, I re-installed XP. In the setup process, XP said
"238473 MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi [MBR]".
I did a calculation on a Byte conversion website and with 250 GB shouldn't XP setup say something like 256,000 MB free for the new partition? Did FDISK miss something in it's checks or is this normal?
TX,
JasonTry Partition Magic. You can CHANGE partition size without losing any data or reinstalling Windows.
