Hi Parmo

All new HDD's added to a pc need to be formatted.
Right click on the drive in Disk Management and format it.
The route is Start/ Control Panel/ Admin Tools/ Computer Management/ Disk Management.

You need to reformat that drive in NTFS Parmo.
It sounds like you have formatted using FAT32 which will only see a certain amount.

thanks yet again...

wolfey your correct again it is in NTFS how do i change it to FAT 32?

[Wolfeymole]

You can't Parmo
You can change FAT32 to NTFS but not vice versa.
Did you read my link regarding partitioning?
