My ide hard drive crashed. I purchased a SATA II Western Digital
WD2500JS-60NCB1.
I formatted the drive and installed WinXP Professional without incident.
But, during the install it assigned my hard drive to letter F. This is
causing problems with several programs. Also, it only formatted 127.99 GB of
the hard drive. Under disk management services it shows the rest of the hard
drive, 104.89 GB, as unallocated space. My 3.5" floppy drive has 2 built in
USB card readers. They are being assigned to C and D, then my IDE dvd rw
drive is being assigned E.
My mother board supports large hard drives. It is a MSI K8N Neo-V2.0
(MS-7030),
with a 754 nforce 3 chipset. Bios version is Phoenix - Award
WorkstationBIOS v6.00PG.
My copy of WinXP Professional does not contain SP1 or SP2 (I have to update
from MS website). This new hard drive is my only hard drive. If I reformat
my hard drive is it possible to get the whole 250GB formatted as the only
partition?
Is it possible to get my hard drive assigned to C?
