I have a problem ... I have a HP A720N .. the HD says it is a 250GB the BOIS set-up says it is a 250GB HD ... but after formatting it ... I get 131,000 .... Looks more like a 160 than a 250 .... any ideas ...


M<ark...

I would have placed this in another area but ... you folks have always given me the most honest advice ... thanks in advance .

And here's something else.
 
This could be relevant...

Seems amdxborg beat me to it, with what could be a solution, not just info... I for one have downloaded now 🙂

I'm expecting a 200GB drive one of the coming days.

But if you still thinks it will do the trick ... I will try ...

So you formatted during the install of windows?
What info does Disk management tells you about the drive and partitions on it?
