[dba-Tech] Windows 2K Pro not seeing all of extra HD.

Are the pin settings on the drive correct?  Some hard drives have pin
setting to 'shrink' their size for older computers.  Drives over 32 gig have
a 32 gig setting, I don't remember if 8 gig is one of the 'older' sizes, I
thought it was 2 gig, but there may have been an 8 gig setting.

Hi all,

I found a spare 20GB sitting around here at work and put it into my machine
as a ghost file drive.  Anyway, I made 3 partitions on it.  2 partitions for
swap partitions and 1 for the ghost data.

When I look at it in the drive manager, it only sees it as 8GB and I can not
see anything on the drive.  Although from DOS, everything looks fine.

I am using System Commander as a boot manager if that matters.

What exactly am I not remembering at the moment that is causing this?

Thanks,
Bobby
