|
 |
I bought a new HDD which is a Samsung 250 GB IDE, but i only get 132 GB from it.
I have now tried to do something about it with partition magic and other partition programs but i can't make it any bigger.
When i enter the BIOs it tells me the HDD is 250 GB...
Is there something I need to do in order to fix this problem? i would really like to settle down and start installing stuff on it now that i bought a new one, but i want to have things in perfect order first...
All help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Can you post a screenshot of your PM screen? show us how the partition table looks and how the space is allocated?

Should the name of it be---> EnableBigLba and the contents --->=dword:00000001
or should the filename be all that?
