I have added an external 80 GBs USB hard drive to my
system (windows XP home addition). The size of the drive
is only recognized as being 1.9 GBs. I have tried to
reformat but the size does not change.
 
Hi,

What is the manufacturer of this drive ?
Have you looked on the manufacturer's website for
instructions ?

Let me know how you get on.

Regards,

Tim
 
Delete the partition. Create a new one and format it as NTFS. Formatting a
partition that is already sized will NOT change the size of the partition.
