download above program and install
then using it format the hard disk
Hi Sibu, Now I am totallly confused. I do not want to format my C drive. All I want to do is to have the full capacity of the Buffalo Hard Drive which is at least 100 GB. At the moment there is no data on it and tells me it's full capacity is 95.9 MB, which is not correct. Thank you
yes
after formatting it will show full capacity
I downloaded the program you suggested (Partition Manager Home edition) and shows only C Drive not Buffalo ( is this correct?) but it will not alow to format. Drive G (Buffalo) does not appear with Drive C. Sorry I am taking so long to understand.
no problem
