| Restore Question I restored my computer yesterday, not with my restore disc, because it has too much junk on it. I purchased a copy of Windows XP Home, it did a format and then did a clean install of Windows, the problem is I have a 200GB hard drive all it shows is 127GB. Does anyone know where my 73GB went to ???? I have an emachine T6520 2GIG Ram, X1950 Radeon card, 2.4Ghz. Thanks |

| Re: Restore Question Did you allow it to make a backup of your personal files? Usually it will create a folder in the "My Documents" folder. Windows used to require a patch to see HD's larger than a certain size (can't remember exactly). Your HD manufacturer's software should contain the patch. Does the jumper on the HD correspond to the position on the cable (if it's been removed)?

| Re: Restore Question I didn't open my pc only restored it. I looked into my documents the only folders are my music, my pictures, my videos and my received files. I also looked to see if there were any hidden files nothing. In my BIOS it says its a 200 gig drive. I looked onto my original restore disc for the patch, but emachine did something to the disc that you can't access the restore disc's programs or I don't understand how to access them??? |

| Re: Restore Question OK I don't get it. I've been to the link above but, nowhere on that page can you download anything. It just talks about Windows Service Pack 1, but nothing to download anywhere, everytime you click on something it just goes to another explanation. Can you give me a link to go directly to that page I need ??? Thanks I do have SP2 installed |
