why only 136gb?

Oh, sorry

Our comps here, all have one, giant NTFS drive with WIN2K. So I guess thats doable.

I still had probs with doing that in XP.
 
Yea, i popped in windows 2000, deleted my old partition, created two partitions. The first partition was 30Gb, but the other partition was, at max, 100gb or so, so i still only have 130gb on a 160gb hard drive. O well, it still works just i am missing some gigs
 
When i go into disk managment there is this tab or whatever you want to call it that says "upgrade to dynamic disk" what would that do?
 
Dynamic dsk is just a "different" file management structure from what I know. I can't see any advantage for the home user, and once you switch to dynamic you CANNOT *easily* switch back, so be wary.

"Windows XP Professional supports two types of disk storage: basic and dynamic. Basic disk storage uses partition-oriented disks. A basic disk contains basic volumes (primary partitions, extended partitions, and logical drives).

Dynamic disk storage uses volume-oriented disks, and includes features that basic disks do not, such as the ability to create volumes that span multiple disks (spanned and striped volumes)."
 
Yea ok, i will definitly wont go dynamic. I still partitioned my hard drive to 3 sections, a 35gb, 90gb and 5gb. i am still getting only 130gb. Any ideas?
 
Did you install first then use disk managment?

Or did you create all those partitions in the windows setup screen?
