I have a 20GB hard drive installed in my PC. I just re-
installed Win XP and now tells me that the capacity of
the hard drive is only 2GB and 20MB of free space. I know
for a fact that I have a 20GB HD. What can I do?
Please Help!!!
 
Go to run,type:regedit
Expand:HKEY_CURRENT_USER-software-microsoft-windows-
CurrentVersion-policies-Explorer
L.click the:NOLowDiskSpaceChecks
Go to edit,modify,set to 1 to turn off.Then close out
regedit,reboot.
 
I don't see the:NOLowDiskSpaceChecks

I have a slave HD on my PC and I noticed that this one is
NTFS and my master is FAT (the one I have trouble with).
Does that matter?
 
What the other person suggested is only going to mask the problem you are
seeing (the underlying problem will still exist).

You need to check the jumper settings on your hard drive. Some hard drives
have a jumper setting that limits the capacity of the hard drive for support
with older hard drive controllers.
