WIN XP PRO – auto partition 128gb ?

by tonilini2 . Updated 19 years, 6 months ago

Hi guys, wanted to ask if anyone knows how to get data back sort of, i am using WIN XP PRO on my main pc, i reinstalled it totally from scratch yesterday and i tried to do it on 400GB seagate IDE drive first (drive had 150 GB of family photos and other work materials which are very important) so i hooked up only this drive and inserted CD to DVD-rom.
It loaded screen and said that my drive volume 0 is only 128GB long…i was like nah that aint true, pressed F3 2x times so to quit from install…after that i hooked up the old 80GB seagate to install win xp pro there, went just fine, applied 76 patches + SP1, when i turned my pc off and added 2 more drives, they were just perfect all data 100% there like it should. But when i turned pc off again to add this 400GB drive, its now on 2 partitions like 128GB + 256 or something (i can get exact amount of needed), so my question is that is there anyway that i could get my big 370gb drive back on just 1 big drive “HUGE” like it was earlier, or is this type of thing irreversible ?

If anyone would have any solution to this, it would be much appriciated
