Hi all,
Just a quick one here. May sounds like a silly one but unsure what needs to be done. I'm reinstalling Windows XP again and I've encountered a slight issue with my hard drives. I have the first (version) copy of Windows XP which only seems to recognize 137gb or less hard drives.
Now my system consists of 2 X 500's and 1 X 640. Both of my 500gb hard drives have been partitioned, with 40gb to one drive, 20 to the other drive and of course the remaining of the capacity left over.
When running through the Windows XP installation, all drives have been recognized as 137gb or so. Wouldn't they recongize these as smaller partitions or am I mistaken on this? If I am, how would I go ahead with installing XP and ensure I'm installing this to the 20gb partition I created?
FYI: Currently Vista and XP have been installed (1 OS per hard drive - 20gb to XP, 40gb to Vista) however I am just doing a reinstall or Xp.
