My dad has an old HP P266 (I think is what it is). His old 6.4GB HDD crashed so he bought a new Seagate 10.2GB. I partitioned the HDD and it only gave me 8GB. I don't really care if thats all it gave me, but when I formated it, it only formated 2.1GB. Yes the bios shows it's an 8GB HDD also. I tried several differen't versions of format, one from a dos6.2 disk, and a win98disk. Any ideas?
My next question is, I have a disk that came with some of the micron pc's here at work. It is a cdrom boot disk, it uses a generic driver on the cdrom so you can install windows or whatever without getting the true drivers for the cdrom. Are there any free aftermarket programs that does the same thing? My micron disk isn't very consistent in finding the cdrom, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
Thanks for the help.
