I have just purchased a new Western Digital 80gb hard drive, I get it home,
install it as master, run FDISK, and can only achieve 10gb.
I have a PIII700, Bios detects the hard drive as 80gb. I have flashed to
the latest bios, but still no joy,
My Master drive is 40gb Maxtor, and I want the 80gb to be the slave for
movies, music ect. (jumpers are set correctly)
Even if I have the drive on it's own, I still only get 10 gig.
Is there anything I need to do???
I have an Abit BX mainboard.
Any help appreciated. |

you probably have an older version of fdisk
either use the partitioning tools that came with the disk
or get the updated fdisk from microsoft
or www.bootdisk.com |

Maxtor has a program called MaxBlast that is made for this purpose.. WD
probably has such a program too.
