Hey guys can someone help me figure out why in the properties of my HD (Local disk C) it shows I have a 127 GB Capacity and it should be 320gb? Did I partition it wrong or something? I hope I don't have to reinstall windows :\ Thanks!

Is it formatted NTFS? Is it updated also with SP1 and SP2? There also might be an option in the BIOS for LBA (large block addressing) that needs to be enabled

Hello thanks for your quick reply. Ya I formated it NTFS (quick way because there was little on the drive) and it is updated to SP2. So I should do into my bios and poke around for LBA and enable it? This isn't dangerous is it? lol thanks much!

Is this a new drive, recently installed? How old is the computer? Make and model? You might end up getting an IDE controller card. I also should ask what interface the drive is i.e. IDE, SATA...

The whole machine is new but I have formated the drive twice due to me being stupid and getting viruses and other nonsense, but it used to be fine. the HD is a 320GB SATA II 3GB 16MB 7200RPM and I have a AMD 64 duel core 4200 AM2 CPU

darn I realized my clock goes back an hour in time... this is the second time I've noticed that. I pushed the bios clock forward once just to see how that works, but I but it back:\

Sounds like a weak motherboard battery. Might be the culprit for everything.

Weird it didn't do that before. and everything is brand new. Hmmm. I might have to re-install windows AGAIN :\

If you keep losing system time in the BIOS, it has nothing to do with Windows and everything to do with a weak CMOS battery, but if you insist reinstall away. Even if you change it in windows it will not affect the system clock

I got the partition problem solved through disk management:) The CMOS clock never went back, I believe it's only the windows clock thats doing it. I dunno I'll see if it does it again. Thanks for staying in touch!

Now that you fixed it be sure to do all the windows Updates. There's one in there for the time

Ok will, do, thanks a lot:)
