bcastner (or) anyone that can help, I have a question can you help me with the format of writing the path that I am setting up when networking Win98 with WinXP (\\??\\)?. I printed my instructions but this information did not print. [sad] Additionally, where in my winXP can I varify the...

I was able to solve my issue, I moved the harddriive to my other computer that can read the full twenty Gig's, installed the OS, I then intalled the drive into the original computer, installed the utilities from the DDO software from the hard drive manufacturer and WALLA! This is what I call...

TekTippy4U, Question: When should I install the diskette for my hard drive (Data Lifeguard v11.0 for DOS)? Do I do this after I have done an fdisk or before and do I need to have a partition already created? I know I need to format after the bois reads all my drive but I'm not sure of the...

My appologies for not mentioning those details before, I will try this these evening and let you know if it worked. Just a small note, I think your website is AWESOME! I am so glad that this service is available.

O.K. I will trust you. Originally when I installed the drive I used the install disket that came with it. Unfortunately I could not find it. I can download it form the Western Digital website (Data Lifeguard v11.0 for DOS). Is this what you are refering to as a DDO software?

How would I get DDO software (Ontrack) and is it dificult to install? Please excuse my ignorance in this matter. :)

I gues I'm a little lost, the computer was reading the 20 Gig drive fine before the fdisk and format. Did something happen when I deleted the files?

TekTippy4U, Unfortunately I have been out of town for the last two days. I am very intersted in getting this computer going so please bare with me. The computer is a "Dell/Dimension XPS-P100c" (older computer). The chip was changed to clock it up to a speed of 233. Mind you it has been working...

TekTippy4U, I went into the link you sent and I am wondering if there are certain (simple) steps that I need to take to correct this problem. Please advice. Thanks.

Wishdiak, Yes, fdisk only gives me 1 partition at 100% totaling 8025 Megs (8 Gigs). I went into the link that TekTippy4U sent and I'm not sure what I need to do. Are there simple steps that I can follow to correct this? If so, where do I get them?

I failed to mention that I tried to partition the remaining 12gb as an extended partition but it told me that there is no other space available.

How do I repartition the drive using fdisk so that it uses all 20gb? I am not worried about losing my data because I have backed it all up in my other computer. Additionally, you mentioned trying to run an fdisk from a command prompt (just don't change anything). I have been running the fdisk...

It appears that when I set up the partition it is reading my 20 Gig drive as an 8 Gig drive. Is there something I should be doing to get the system to pick up the full 20 Gigs?

I am trying to format my drive. Have done this before without problems. This time when partitioning the drive to fat32 it only reads 8025 Megs of my 20 Gig hard drive. I am capable of installing windows 95se but the drive size is very small. Can you please assist me?
