TiKiGoD Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 heh, well it can be frustrating when you know what you're doing and people don't know your situation. plus, his harddrive is broke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 if you have xp, you can open up and look up overall drivespace in administator tools. If it doesnt look like theres 38 GB's of unused space then you need to take your drive back cause you just got ripped off other than that delete all the paritions on it and then repartion and reformat. happy hunting. btw I know you're frustrated and you want help but being rude wont get any of us to help you good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
