Subject: [PCBUILD] HDD not right


> I want to add a 120gb HDD to my WIN 2000 computer.  This drive will act as
the primary slave.

my computer to see that there is more than 8Gb of space on the drive.  fdisk
will partition the drive but it configures for around 8Gb.

working as it should be but due to a crash of the original master drive, and
my mistake, I 'accidently' partioned and re-formatted my 120 Gb drive
instead of the new HDD.  Oopps.

my home network.
