    Hi everybody, I just purchased and installed 160g Western Didgital IDE. Ghosted the old drive and all is working well except the drive only shows as a 38 G drive. I didnt partition the drive, just formated and did the thr file transer through Easeus todo software. My CPU is a Dell GX270, which I have added alot of bells and whistle runs great for what I use it for. Is there a step I missed that would allow me to use all of the drive and not just 38G?

    Thanks All,

    Hi,

    Even though you didn't partition, perhaps Easeus did.
    Take a look in Disk Management to see how it shows the HD, particularly unpartioned space. Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk Management


    The graph should show your HD and how it is divided up.
