Hey,
I have been searching for a while and can't resolve this on my own.
I had to reformat my hard drive (wdc wd 1600jb 160gb)reinstaled xp got sp2 then sp3 this drive still only reads as 149 gb I redgedited made a new string for LAB this didnt change anything. This is realy not the problem.
My Maxtor smt3320620a 320 gb only reads as 127. Before I formatted primary drive I unplugged the maxtor. After the format I plug it back up, bios finds it as a 320gb but xp says 127gb.
I just use the maxtor as storage for movie and game backups - they should still be on there. this drive worked fine before the format. I realy just dont want to loose all my backups it's just a pain to do it all over again. Any help would be great Thanks!

This is about what my back-ups came to.
But like I said it only shows 127 gb in My Computer.

Do you think this is a maxtor problem?
