^_^ Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 could it be that once you have SP1 installed, then the drive would show up correctly?hint, if that's the problem, then slipstream SP1 onto your disk using the http://unattended.msfn.org/ guide and it will report correctly immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Celt Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 It's likely that the file directory is corrupt, having been given the run-around by windows about the size of the disk. Using the tools I linked to may be the only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
