Hi,
I have recently installed a Seagate 160gb ATA disk on my PC which runs on a Mercury 845GV MOBO, Intel 845 chipset. with 768 MB DDR RAM. The older disk is Hitachi 40 GB with a dual boot of Win98 (C:) and WinXP Pro (E:).
After the successful installation - which was very quick and clean - on the new disk (used only for data at the moment - i wil transfer the OSes later), i checked and the disk is working perfectly. Win98 also correctly recognies the FAT32 partitions on both the disks.
Later out of curiosity I ran Ranish Partition Manager. Here the new disk only shows two primary partitions ( for transferring the two OSes later) and shows the rest as unformatted partition space.
I wonder, if I shoudl continue useing the disk as it is or reinstall, fdisk and format it thru PM once again?
Any one has got any ideas on this please?
Thanks
Mytor
