hi all ive got a few probs with me net pc its a P3 it has a 500GB and a 160GB IDE HDD in it but it only sees 127GB on ech drive how can i make it see the full HDD? and my new floopy drive wont work it says the discs i put in it are not formatted but i tryed the disc's on my USB one and thay work is there sum thing wrog with the floopy drive or is it sum thing else? Thanks chris :confused:
 
when P3 where out Hdd's over 120Gig where just not available therefore there was no support for them in the bios. You could be lucky and find an updated bios that will see the full disc failing that you need software call Onstrap i(i think) which loads up just after the bios that will allow you to see the full hdd.
As for the floppy drive i would doulbe check the type shown in the bios and make sure its set for 1.44Mb drive then using a known blank disk formatt it and see what the system say's then.
It should make a difference what O/S the floppys have been formatted on as they should be standard Fat File system.
