Hello, I have a 400 Gb HD. When I go to "my Computer" it tells me I have 128 MB total space. I soon figured out that I had more space but it was Unallocated. It gives me the option to make it into a new partion but I do not want partions, I just want it to be one big space. Please help. :)

Hi Jones. You said, "I soon found out..." Does that mean the figures have changed?- Go to My Computer- Right click on the drive and click PropertiesWhat is the "Used Space" and "Free Space" sections say?

Still says that its at 128 Mb. I looked at my disk manager and there is still plenty of Unallocated space.

Hi Jones...okay, we had a few similar issues like yours. Can you list the full specifications of your computer?

Either you're using illegal version of OS or you haven't updated your OS

Trajik, that is a pretty broad stroke there. This doesn't have anything to do with an illegal version of Windows. The consensus on various other forums and within Windows is that he or she may have to install SP2 if he or she hasn't already. Other than that, there are some registry changes that can be made but no, this is not an "illegal Windows" situation.

That's perfect. Okay, here are some basic options you should try:- Check the hard drive manufacturer's website for the latest driver update- Check the motherboard manufacturer's website for an update to the BIOS- If you have your hard drive running off of a controller card, make sure you have the latest drivers for that card- Click on this link and follow the instructions:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;303013(This may have been resolved with Service Pack 2 but it is worth a shot)If after you do all of this it still reads 128GBs, post and we can try some more

:lol: Sorry if my post came off a bit harsh. I'm very calm, my friend. From what I have found is that the vast majority of people on here are legitimate PC users and not just trying to get over on anyone.Shoot, at least you were thinking. 8)
