I have a new Micron computer with Windows ME. I have, or I am supposed to, a 60 gig harddrive. Scandisk and Norton speeddisk tell me I have 9.48 gig +/_. The system information says I have 57 gig and no partitions. How do I get the correct diskspace when I run scandisk or speeddisk? Micron has not been able to help me on this. Thanks, James

I think you have a partition of 9.48GB, and the rest unalocated, so windows doesn't detect the rest. I would try to delete all partitions, including the windowspartition, and then create a new one, takinng, lets say a few GB, and the rest in a second partition. I use partition magic. With this program, you can immediately see what the status of your partitions is. fdisk can be used to, but that's not that easy to use. I you use fdisk, be sure to say yes to the question to enable large harddisk support. Another program is system commander, but I never used that. If the harddisk came with some sort of extra drivers, maybe these can help... Johan

do not format just to find out if your hard drive is the right size... many of my older programs report wrong size of the free space rightclick in my computer on the C: and chooze properties and you will see "Used space", "Free Space" and "Capacity" you can believe these numbers.... if your HD is partitioned then do that with every partition and add them together and you get the total numbers what version of norton are you using? If it reports wrong disc space i would advise removing it from the computer before it messes something up Regards Miro

As usual miro does not know what he is talking about! FDISK will tell you everything that you need to know! In fact if the space is unallocated you can ALLOCATE it and do it from within Windows! If any partition is unallocated or any other type of partition other than FAT like NTFS Windows ME will not see it. So attempting to check this from anthing other than FDISK or partitioning software is silly..like Miro
