Question

My iomega HDD is showing only 240 Gb when plugged to Windows XP (tablet pc edition) Operating system. What is the reason? No cd came with the HDD. What could I do to utilize the full space on the HDD (500 Gb)? Is there some sw to format it to NTFS and show full capacity?

Answer 1

i'm not sure maybe your computer doesn't support that big size of HDD, or maybe the operating systems..not sure, try to contact the support of your HDD or computer..

Answer 2

This is a tough one, I"m not sure about this respose, but it seems XP without service Pack 1 or 2 has a 127Gb limitation You might be getting two 127Gb partitions? If they are formatted (Of course they "ARE" formatted, then you will lose some of that total space, I can't confirm if 7 each being 120GB formatted would be correct at that total. If so, it is an IDE limitation (If you can check your tablets bios, check for INT 13 support and make sure it is enabled, and try upgrading to SP2.

Answer 5

Is there two 240GB drives there? Sometime external frives are really two partitions or two different drives completely, so it might be divided up among two drives.
