T1Cybernetic Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 Sounds too dangerous to me but good luck to those who do actualy manage to enlarge their drives, .
Carmon Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 Hmm i dont think a HD can expand ova it created Size but hey ill give it a go on a Spare HD and see wat happends
raskren Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 This "trick" has been known for some time and is highly unreliable.Most hard drives have extra hidden sectors so the drive can meet its advertised capacity if bad sectors are found.
