Drive partition

[BruceY]

How is it when I run the hard drive program for specificly for the hard drive (western Digital Data Lifguard Tools) and partition the 80gig hard drive into ONE 80gig partition, when I finnially get back into windows (on the 6gig) and see the other drive, it ONLY SHOWS AS A 31gig HD??? And yet the SAME computer saw ALL 80gig when it ran Win2k.

I THINK THE DRIVE IS GOING

Usually when a drive is limited to 32 GB it's one of 2 things: you formatted it as FAT32 with Windows 2000 or Windows XP (they artifically limit partitions to 32GB) or some drives have a jumper on the back that limits the drive to 32GB.

this SAME drive ran fine as a 40gig and another 40gig (2 partitions) under Win2KPRO for 2 years. It was only split into 2 partitions to decrease defrag time.
I have since determined this drive took a dump and probly will be a wheel chock for someones riding mower
