Basic rundown.
My 60gig hard drive is being recognised in bios as 25 gig and in disk management it is recognised as a 790.39 gig
I am using an old pentium 3 with a 500cpu
10 gig with xp pro installed as master and a 60 gig as secondary with win 2000 pro installed on it.
The 10 gig has 1 partition and the 60 gig had about 6 partitions on it.
I changed the master drive to the 60 gig
win 2000 booted up 1st time around although very slowly.
As I had a scanner installed in xp, (Microtek 3800) when I booted to win 2000 it asked me to install the hardware, software which I did. ( I dont believe that its a sofware issue though)
When I went to restart, the bios would only recognise the 60 gig as a 25 gig and wouldn?t boot past, Verifying DMI Pool data
I went in to setup and tried to get the bios to recognise the 60 gig but it would only recognise it as a 25 gig.
I changed the hard drives back around to the 10 gig with xp O/S on it and it boots up fine but will only recognise the 60 gig slave as a 25 gig and it will now only show one partition on the 60 gig where as before it had about 6 partitions on it.
When I clicked on the drive, it said that the drive wasn?t formatted and would I like to format it.
When I went in to disk management it showed the 60 gig slave hard drive as being only one partition and it said although it is healthy it is in need of a format and that it is a 790.39 gigabyte.
It is formatted and it has heaps of partitons on it.
I was reading a book on data recovery and could probably recover the data off it but should I have too?
Why isnt it being recognised properly? The 60 gig isnt very old!
Any ideas anyone?
