hi all, i have a 40gb hd and a 60.
xp is installed on the 40gb hd that the computer came with, but now that i've added the second 60 i'm having troubles.
xp only recognizes the 60 as an identical 40gb hd. and now that i have 40gb worth of stuff on that 60, i can't add anymore.
any help on actually installing it properly, or do i have to format and install windows on the 60gb harddrive.
edit: can we not attach images anymore??
Thats strange... Did you install any drivers that came with the hard drive? Check disk management in your administrative tools and see if windows just partitioned to drive to 40 gb witha 20 gb un partitioned space.
can't attach any images. but anyways, ya it seems as though the disk just has one partition that is identical size to the 40gb hd.
how can i fix this without losing my songs on that drive? 20gb worth

set you new drive as a slave or xp wont read it

You think 20 gigs is bad to lose. I lost almost 150 gigs becuase I was a moron and used partition magic to delete the wrong drive.
I have no answers for your question. Just had to vent about losing my songs.
problem fixed. when i installed the hd, windows automatically made one partition equal in size to my other HD
