Windows Forum / Windows 98 / General Topics / April 2004Harddrive problems
Have a 40Gb hard drive but windows only recognising 6.5GB and now says that the memory is full. Friends say I have to reboot everything again. Any suggestions please? > Have a 40Gb hard drive but windows only recognising 6.5GB > and now says that the memory is full. Friends say I have > to reboot everything again. Any suggestions please? is your machine fairly old? it could be a bios limitation... check to see if you can get the drive properly detected in the bios... if not...your options are: bios update drive overlay software pci controller card Machine updated in last year with new motherboard and chip. BIOS recognises 40GB hard drive but windows doesn't. Any suggestions now? >-----Original Message----- > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > >. > Machine updated in last year with new motherboard and > chip.
