install old hard disk

Guest

Hi,

I am installing an old hard disk from my old computer (Win98) to a new
computer (WinXp home). My old computer could only detect up to 32GB out of
the 60 GB using an ATA card due to the old BIOS. My new computer detects
only 32 GB too. I am thinking about using the "fdisk" to repartition the
hard disk again but I can't find this program anymore. Do anyone know where
can I find this program or there is another ways to do it?

Thanks.

Henry,
Open CONTROL PANEL, go to ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS, COMPUTER MANAGMENT, STORAGE,
DISK MANAGMENT (LOCAL). From there, you should be able to re-format the old
drive (remember, you will lose everything!) and should be able to partition
it. I recomend using the NTFS file system for the re-format.

Good Luck!
