Ok I recently brought a Dell computer that comes with a 250 GB hard drive and
is loaded with Windows Vista. I dislike vista, so I decided to delete it and
install XP Pro.
This is what I did. I put the Win XP Pro CD into my computer and booted from
the CD. In the Win XP pro installation, I deleted the partition that
contained the Vista OS (There was 2, one that has vista and the other is
recovery info, which is about 10 GB). When I told it to delete the vista
partition, the XP installation did stated it was about 240 GB, but after I
deleted the Vista partition and create a new partition for my XP OS, it
stated the max is 117 GB. So what happened to the 220 GB that is missing on
my hard drive? Why is Win XP not detecting it? How do I recover it so Win XP
would detect it?
I have tried Partition Magic and it did not work.
