I'm adding a new HD to my PC set-up... It's my GF's old one, and is 55 gigs... however, when I go to integrate it into my PC (using WINXP Computer Management), it's only listed as having 33 gigs! What am I to do?! |

have you made sure its all in one partition? if theres only one partition readable by windows, that could happen. |

When I go into Computer Management to format it, the box, greyed-out, says 31.49GB, Unallocated. I followed the procedure and un-partition it, then reformat it (not using quick format or anything). |

Try using a non retarded partitioning tool like Acronis disk director. I have a bootable ISO of it if you want. Some manufacturers have hidden partitions on their hard drives with system recovery shit on there. I'm not sure whether or not that would be visible to the XP disk tools. |

i doubt it would be visible - i went over to my sister's place a few weeks back, to help sort her laptop out. she'd bought an Advent laptop from PC World, and it came with Windows Vista Home Premium on it. my sister knew that i had Vista Ultimate and asked me to put that on there. Whilst trying to delete the visible second partition (which i assumed to be the restore partition) i stumbled across a hidden partition that could only be viewed using the DISKPART command from the Vista command line (accessible by booting from the install disk, getting past the CD key screen and pressing Shift+F10).......i dunno if you can run the DISKPART command from within Vista, but yeah....i guess some partitions can be made pretty invisible. then again i haven't messed around with Vista enough to know what it can and can't show you someone who's more Windows savvy and less Macintosh savvy, please put in your two quid. there's many more people on this board who're more technically knowledgable. like ecnadniarb. and Monoid |

Partition Magic and see if the other partition is logical or primary, FAT32 or NTFS. |
