Hi all,

I had to reinstall windows xp media center becuase I could not get my internet to work. All is fine now, except that I have a 120 gig drive and my computer only sees 60 gigs. I went to the dell website to get the drivers for my insprion 9300 laptop. Does anyone know if I missed a driver which would cause it to not show 120 gig but only 60 gigs?
thanks!
Bob

Go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, under Storage click on Disk Management. You should be able to see whether that missing 60gb is in fact just unpartitioned disk space. If you see an unallocated region, right click on it and select New Partition. That'll open the New Partition wizard which is easy to follow. Good luck.
