DrX 0 Posted March 27, 2000 I used partition magic in Win98 to mess a bit with resizing my drive's unallocated space. Win2K now sees my drive's total size as 21 gigs instead of 27, even though I only made it 8 megs unallocated. The system is FAT32. I ran scan disk, check disk, did everything, no go. In a last attempt effort, I ditched 98 entirely and upgraded to a dynamic disk in hope that it would recognize the real drive size. Still, 21 gigs. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post
euankirkhope 0 Posted March 28, 2000 What version of PM? Some versions don't do the FAT32x filesystem so are limited to certain sizes. Try using the partition list program (I can't remember its name) that comes with PM to check the boundaries of the partitions if the partition reaches both ends of the drive then maybe you have selected a fat32 partition with massive clusters, and that's stole your space? Run scandisk in case your freespace is being miscalculated, I see that often too. Share this post Link to post
