Need help with IBM Deskstar GXP 45GB!!!!!!!

[Jonny]

Hello, I just go this drive in the mail, I put it in my computer, and booted into windows 2000 on my old drive.
It found the new drive, however,it said it was only 32gb. Why did it do this? Is this normal?

I want to make my partitions, but I can't make them the way I want them if it only thinks the drive is 32gb. Iam going to Administrations tools, Computer Managment, then Disk Managment.

Where did my other 15 GB go? Any suggestions would be greatly appricated!!!
THANKS a ton in advance!!

my only suggestions is for you to get yourself a copy of partion magic 5.0 and see what that does for you. im sure it will solve all your problems.

When you FDISK'ed the drive how much space did you give it? 100%?

What did it report when you formatted it?
