Hi group
Can someone explain why a Compaq HDD shows up in Windows (my computer) and
the bios on my Caompaq Ipaq desktop as 10gb, but in device manager the HDD
is shown as a 6L020J1.
The actual drive is a Maxtor D740X 6L020J1which according to various google
searches is a Maxtor DIAMONDMAX PLUS D740X 20 GB 6L020J1
Even if I run Partion Magic 8, it still only shows up as a 10gb drive.
How do Compaq cripple their drives. Is there any way I can get the full 20gb
from this drive
Even the Compaq part number (253453-001) appears in google searches as a
20gb drive
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Duncan
