I’m starting this again as I was previously “User Deleted”.
where’s the drive space
I feel I should know this, but can’t remember.
I have a Quantum 30Gb HDU which is recognized by the BIOS as such. The unit has a single 30Gb partition, as reported by both Fdisk and PartitionMagic. But the OS sees only 20Gb.
What am I overlooking. The drive has been configured FAT32 on a WinME system.
I have installed the unit into my XP machine for test and analysis. CHKDSK reports only 20Gb as does TreeSize and Windows Explorer.
Please, any clues.

PS. I have checked this drive in different systems with different OSes with the same result. It appears not to be a BIOS related issue.
The BIOS recognized the Manufacturer/Model ofthe unit. FDISK states it has a 30Gb partition. Strangely EasyRecovery Pro sees it as a 18.6Gb partition of “unknown format”.
