Ok so this has really baffled me, done lots and lots of system upgrades/builds and countless windows XP install and onto SATA drives, but why oh why when it comes to your own install does it all go to crap lol.

Ok so ive got 2 320GB SATA seagate and 1 PATA maxtor, was running windows on the PATA and 1 blank seagate and the other with lots of stuff, so today i decided to install XP on the blank maxtor, ok first problem wudnt find the sata drives :/ so i tried using usual floppy and then i got BSOD once windows was installed :/ so then i looked online and found some tips to install without floppy, worked but its saying my drives are 130GB drives :s and that my other SATA drive is not formatted when it is and i had it unplugged incase of accidents lol.
Also the weird thing is now i cant boot back to the Maxtor drive to check the other Seagate because im getting some boot errors saying some disk configuration is wrong :/

Anyone got any ideas what to do lol? why are my 320's showing as 130GB?

Please help lol im totally confused :/
 
:D kool ill go install SP2 n hope all is ok, but u think it will still show it needs formatting?? i hope not else it will be an overnite disk recovery lol

TYTY

check what it says in disk management about the other drive or just try browsing it

yea will try once SP2 and etc has been dled, ill try using that nLite for future installs

And makes sence about the other drive it has got 250gigs worth of stuff and if it only shows 130gig lol probs why, just hope once SP2 is done and i can addign the whole 320 it will work
 
Well the Partition thing worked on my main drive, but the one with 200+ gigs worth of stuff didnt, so ive dusted off Active@ File recovery and its doing its thing recovering my files :)
