I have recently installed a 160 GB Seagate Baracuda Hard Drive. I cloned my old 30 Gb’s image onto the 160. When I booted it up I noticed that my computer only sees 135 GB of it.
I have a Dell Dimension 300 Bios Version: A02 So, I thought the reason that the HArd Drive was only showing 135GB is because I needed to update my BIOS. I went to Dells website and downloaded BIOS Version: A03. When I rebooted my system it was still recognizing 135GB of the Drive.
I went to Disk Management and noticed that the extra space that wasn’t showing up was listed as an unknown partition. I right clicked on it and the on;y option I had was “Delete Partition” the other options were grayed out.
My question I guess is should I have updated my BIOS before I installed the Drive, or is there a way for me to get this “Unknown Partition” usable?
Any Suggestions????
