I'm hoping to really pick your brains on this one, I'm stumped at the moment.
I have a Toshiba laptop that came with a 640GB 5400RPM HDD. I recently acquired a Seagate Momentus XT 500GB drive, and I figured that I'd sacrifice the capacity difference for a faster drive. I cloned the image on my original drive to the new one and had no issues thus far and have certainly noticed a performance increase. I am however having one small annoyance... My PC is recognizing the drive as a 640GB rather than 500GB. I've done extensive searching on how to restore the proper capacity characteristics but so far no methods have worked for me. Although the drive shows a 640GB capacity, the free space properly reflects what the drive has left for storage.
This hasn't affected my general usage of the computer, but it's just weird and I would like to correct the issue. If anyone has a suggestion for me it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
