lancerx Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 I have 3 disks, 20-120-250=390gb but i think i will be needing 250 or 300 gb more Glyph, why did you make so many partitions? i used the hole amount, well meybe your board can't read so many gbs, right?
lancerx Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 I have (had) a 10 GB HDD, but I screwed with some partitioning stuff and accidentally turned it into a 8 Gb HDD. Woe is me. Beat that, I dare you. If I was an emo fag, I'd write a gloomy poem about it.use partition magic and when u set it up use primary partition and you won't loose any amount of gb, trust me, i use to loose so much
Wizard Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 I don't trust that PM7 anymore, it erased 2 of my partitions when I wanted to create another one. Now I just to id the lazy way and what I think is a more safer way. fdisk owns all.
solidius23 Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 i got all of my drives spread out between 2 systems all used for various reasons

Yeah, it's sort of nice in a masochistic way when partitioning programs can crew you over if you don't know exactly wht you are doing.
Gryph Posted July 14, 2004 Author Posted July 14, 2004 I have 3 disks, 20-120-250=390gb but i think i will be needing 250 or 300 gb more Glyph, why did you make so many partitions? i used the hole amount, well meybe your board can't read so many gbs, right?I keep stuff organized that way and I prefer partitions because they take less time to defrag than a entire chunk. My board can definitely read that many GBs...how does that matter when dealing with partitions? I just had to update by BIOS to let it read drives larger than 137 gb.
