Question : Problem: Win 2K not seing correct HD sizes

My C drive crashed and I put in a new one, loaded Win2K (as on the old one) and reloaded all the programs.

Now I've noticed that BIOS is correctly recognizing the C drive as 300Gb and the D drive as 120Gb.  But when the OS boots, I go to My Computer and right click, the C drive shows as 80Gb and the D as 57Gb.

Both drives showed the correct size with the old C drive and Win2K

What's wrong and how do I fix it

And if I can ask two questions at the same time, while installing the new HD the CD drive renamed itself as drive D.  So now the HDs are C and E.  Not a huge deal but a little inconvenient.  Any thoughts on this?

Thanks

David Simon

Answer : Problem: Win 2K not seing correct HD sizes

Yes, just put a 1 in.   0x1 is just a way to represent a hex value ==> NOT what you type into the field.

Regedit is fine, by the way ==> just so you modify the field correctly, it doesn't matter which registry editor you use :-)
