SP2 and Hard Disk
Introduction: Just an old retired computer USER that gets into a lot of
trouble. I am not sure that it is the problem of the SP2 but did not have the problem before installing it. I have an Asus P4P800 Delux with chip set 865PE Intel Pent. 4 3.0 GHz Serial ATA Controller. I had a 200GB hard drive partitioned 80gb and 120gb. and a 30gb HD as the boot drive. The problem started in that the boot drive only showed 8gb capacity. The rest had to be there but not formated and I did not know how to handle that so I removed that drive and installed a 40GB HD as the primary drive. Before installing the new drive I disconnected the 200GB HD to ensure a clean installation and installed all the programs I had on the original drive includeing XP SP2 from a disk provided from Microsoft. The Problem... When I reconnected the 200GB HD only one partiction is shown and when I check the system properties under Volumes, I shows 191GB capacity but the volume shows only 40gb and is not assigned a drive letter. Also it does not show up on "My Computer" Does anyone have any idea what my problem is. \ |
