Ok this is driving me insane
I am trying to add a 2nd hard drive to my xp pro system, Currently Drive C is a Maxtor 160 Ultra, When trying to add the 2nd drive (same drive) it only picks up as a 34 gig drive. (I got 2nd hard drive to back up to using Ghost)
I have done everything i could possibly think of. I installed xppro on the 2nd hd and it worked fine read as a 160g drive I made it the 2nd hd and the orginal HD did not pick it up saidd that I had to reformat it. Even Ghost and the Max Blast 3 soft ware read the drive as 34 gigs while in XP but outside it reads as a 160 (booting from max blast 3 disk)
Only thing I can think of my bios setting have C: as being auto detected and then d: is USER with set heads cylinders etc. I have tried to change it to Auto like C: but when I get out of the setting pages it reverts back to User setting.
Any help and I would be grateful more than you know! I just want to ghost my drive put it up and if my hd crashes I will not have to spend a day reinstalling everything.
