format 2 500gb drives as one 1tb

So i am an idiot!!

I bought a 1tb my book from Western digital! Thats not the reason i'm an idiot but what i did with it!

For some unknown reason i reformatted the drive(s) to ntfs.
I then found out i really needed it as fat32 - as it was originally shipped. So i used swissknife to reformat it back to fat32. However the drive now reads as only a 500gb dive instead of the 1tb.

What did i do and how do i get this back to a 1tb capacity?

i'd really appreciate help with this, i have that cold sweat forming on my brow!

cheers
Andy

 

so i guess the drive is actually a 1tb drive and not 2 x 500gb drives!
but it reads as a 500gb drive now!

 

hey! did you ever figure out what was wrong? how did you fix it man!? im having the same problem.. argh.. your the only person ive found with the same problem as me!

 

Please give more info OS. What is model of your drive. How does windows see your drive when you run “diskmgmt.msc” (windows XP [ start…..run….{type} diskmgmt.msc{enter}])
