I installed a bigger hard drive on my pc. Some how would only let me have
32gb out of 120, rest went to another partition. So now I have a 120gb drive
with a partition of 32 for fat32 and 80 for NTFS. What should I do if
anything.Should I make it all Fat32 or all NTFS or should I just leave it.
How do I make any changes if needed?
Help!!!!!!
 
With the large capacity of disk,you'd better format your disk with NTFS.
Fat32 does not support large disk£¡

Do you want to preserve the existing contents of the drive or are you
content to wipe everything out and start over?

Preserving the contents will require special software. Wiping
everything out and starting over is, of course, quite time consuming.

Post your response back here for specific instructions for whichever
option you prefer.

Good luck

Before any of all this happened. There is another drive I have that I have
been using Ghost on to back up the "C" drive. Is the a way I can again make
a ghost image then fix the 120gb drive? I can always copy the data I need to
a cd. On the OS. I started out with 98 then upgrades to ME,then XP. That is
where I am at now.

thanks for showing interest.
