Hello there, Are you saying that windoze sees it as 4GB? A 4Kb drive is a very retrograde step! What sort of motherboard do you have, processor etc? Which version of 'doze' do you use? How have you partitioned your drive. Are you using Partition Magic or what? Send some more info please.

I purchased a hard drive yesterday (maxtor 40GB 5400rpm) and installed it thru windoze. I can see and use the drive fine in windoze, however when I access my linux setup (Linux Mandrake 8.0, running KDE; I have a dual boot system using grub) I can see the drive when I look for it in the windoze explorer browser (can't remember name?) but the size shows as 4kb and I can't see any files on it... its like a blank drive... Does anyone know how to configure Linux to see this drive in kde so I can read/write to it? I've got all my mp3's on this drive... so it's kinda important to have it up:) no music until it's working! Thanks in advance! - Joe :) ------------------------------------------ | Have you petted your penguin today? :) | | Registered Linux user #183248 | ------------------------------------------ _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
