Question hard drive not reading correctly ( PCMech Forums Drives and Storage ) Updated: 2009-06-04 05:20:22 (1) hard drive not reading correctly So I know that there is a thread about this, that's how I found this format. However, this a huge capacity error in my opinion. I have a ASUS laptop, Vista with SP2, my internal hd is suppose to be 320gb. 4gb of RAM. But this is about the external my aunt just sent me. We got it for her for Christmas, however she didn't like that it wasn't portable. It is a WD 750 gb or 640 gb, I can not really remember. However my computer is saying that it is: 49.1 gb. How can this be? Amanda Answers: hard drive not reading correctly ( PCMech Forums Drives and Storage ) hard drive not reading correctly Two possibilities. Someone formatted and partitioned the drive and you're looking at the first partition. Remove the partition and reformat the drive, that should give you the full space back. If a third party program was used you may need to zero out the drive but try using Disk Management first. The second is that either the drive or the enclosure is malfunctioning in which case RMA it. pam123 - Source: hard drive not reading correctly PCMech Forums Drives and Storage - Previous Question: No Boot Options PCMech Forums Drives and Storage - Next Question: How do YOU partition your HDs PCMech Forums Drives and Storage
