Hello all,
I'm new here and hope someone can help with my problem.
My Fujitsu Siemens Amilo laptops 160 GB hard drive recently failed!
What I did to fix it was by putting a 500 GB hard drive in from a spare external hard drive and put in the recovery disks and hey presto it was working!! During the recovery process it said it would delete all data on the drive which was about 220 GB. That was fine as I had other copies of the data. After the install I expected to have a laptop with a 500 GB hard drive but the 2 partitions that were created are, C drive with 192 GB and D drive with 97 GB. I'm missing 211 GB of storage!! Should I have deleted all the data from the drive first? Does anyone know if there is a way to get windows to see the remaining drive space?
Thanks for your help
