| | New Internal HD is Wrong Size Hello, I have added a new internal HD to my Vista x64 system and "My Computer" is showing it as being 20GB when it should be 500GB. I have done a format and it seems to be fine. I am also running Intel's Matrix Storage for a RAID array but this drive is not part of that cluster but the Intel tool correctly reports the size. How can I fix "My computer" to show the correct size. Thanks, Tim |

| | Re: New Internal HD is Wrong Size Andy, thanks for the reply, that was indeed the problem. For lack of a better solution I used my XP install disk and deleted all the current partitions and created a new one, the problem is not fixed. -Tim "andy" wrote: Quote: > On Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:38:03 -0700, tvromero > <tvromero@xxxxxx> wrote: > Quote: > >Hello, > > > >I have added a new internal HD to my Vista x64 system and "My Computer" is > >showing it as being 20GB when it should be 500GB.
