From: spasmous on 30 Dec 2009 03:00 I bought an EEPC 1000 with XP installed that supposedly had 16GB disk space. However all Windows can see is 8GB on a single SSD (C: drive). There is no D: drive. The space is kind of tight, as you can imagine. How can I activate the "other" 8GB? These are the specs from http://tiny.cc/Q5XYq ASUS Eee PC 1000 - Atom N270 - 10.1" TFT Mfg.

Perhaps half the SSD space is left unformatted (vacant pending installation of Linux). http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313348 describes the WinXP utilities for partitioning a (hard) drive and creating new logical drives. But if yours is a new purchase the vendor ought to able to answer your question. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)

Post #11 in this discussion claims a fix for a missing D drive. http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=55267 If that doesn't work do a little searching on this site because there are very few problems that someone here hasn't had with their eee here. Last resort, do you have a recovery DVD?
From: Barry Watzman on 30 Dec 2009 15:01 It's possible, of course, that you were "taken". Open Computer Management (in "Administrative Tools" ... which is hidden by default), then "Disk Management" and see if the space shows up. If it's not there (doesn't show up in Disk Management (which shows physical drives) .... it likely doesn't exist. spasmous wrote: > I bought an EEPC 1000 with XP installed that supposedly had 16GB disk > space.

When I clicked on the empty one a menu opened with the option to make partition. I said yes and it went to work. Now the D: drive has appeared and all appears to be well :) |
