I just installed a 300 gb drive as a slave to an older boot drive. I have win
xp sp2 (sp1 when I installed the drive so it should not matter), the right
atapi.sys and the newest bios update for my mb. I also have
WinAppAccelarator, from before.
First I could not give the drive a bigger partition than 137 gb. I tried
both the seagate DiscWizard that came with the drive and the (CompManagement
- Storage -) Disk Mangement. these both left me with two partitions, one
<137gb and the other with no file system. The small partition worked fine
though. Formatting anything bigger with Diskmngm worked fine until the
finalization, where it just told me it was unable to format the drive.
At that time Disk management and the bios at boot both recognised the drive
as slave, 300 gb in size.
Now I have tried to format the drive with 3x100gb partitions with the
diskwizard and the drive suddenly vanished from My computer and Disk
Management but still appears in WinAppAccel as 300gb.
What the hell is going on in the kitchen? I´m seeing red!
Hope someone out there can help.
