I have a old P3 computer that had a 40 G hard disc that was out of room,so just the other day I purchased a new hard disc and reinsatlled this in my PC. All went well and every thing seems to be working properly. I never partioned anything and formated what i was told to do on start up. I never moved no jumper at the back and left this as is. The unit is a Western digital hard drive 250 gig.
My question is to you, why can't i see the rest of the 120 Gig storage available.
New 250 G hard disc installed but I am only seeing 128G on my C drive.?
i would asume that the bios do not support that size of hdd try updating/flashing your bios. go to your computer manufacturesrs website and click on drivers and then download the latest bios update
Reply:Your motherboard bios may not support drives this big, many did not. Even if it did you might have needed to tell it the size. Your only option now is to go to the drive manager in control panel (maybe under admin tools/computer management), and look at the logical drives, you will see your additional space as another partition, assign a drive letter and it is very good for storing music, images and all sorts of other data which can fill the c: drive normally.
Reply:if its an older operating system, some of them can't recognize hard drives above a certain size. what OS are you running?
