Ok, I'm back, on another computer, though.

I seemed to solve the problem. I installed the SP1 for winXP and now it shows up as 152gb.

I'd rather the 152gb over the 127gb so...

But now I think I'm gonna have to format it because my internet doesn't work for it now, and I can't install OR uninstall ...

creep

[21:36] <FFFire> windows xp without sp1
[21:36] <buffoon> ?
[21:36] <FFFire> wont see any HD bigger than 137gb
[21:36] <buffoon> nod
[21:36] <FFFire> and if the drive is bigger
[21:36] <FFFire> it'll see it as only 137gb or smaller

Someone suggested that I install the SP1 update.

creep

hmmm, i'll go check out the asus site right now.

creep

Yeah, I tried using PartitionMagic and it only shows up as 131gb in there.

Where's my other 30gb?!?!

creep

I bought it as an OEM so all I got was the drive.

I'm running XP and have an ASUS P4P800 w/a p2.6c 800mhz and 512 400mhz ddr ram

creep

Ok, I got a new HD, 160gb and am using it as my main slave to my 13gb drive.

I know, but I just did a format etc. so I'm gonna use it as the slave.

The problem is, it only shows up as 127gb... eventhough I paid for 160gb.

Is this normal or is this drive defective?

creep

Just curious, but how could it be one of the connections cuz i haven't opened the box or moved it recently?

creep

I just had my system running for almost 2 weeks straight w/o a reboot
I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I noticed on the last day, that my burner was no longer recognized, not even by the BIOS at startup.

So I install some 'cd burner' fix from Windowsupdate and BOOM! my other ...

creep

yup i've tried re-installing AND using safe mode.... no luck

creep

I can't even get into the game to change the rez dude.

and yes i'm using XP drivers for the card..

not the ones from the xp cd, but the newer ones from the ati site

creep

I just installed RTCW and when i run the single-player mode, the screen flickers a few times then it returns to windows... w/an error button but no error message

I'm using an ATI All-in-wonder 128
I also have an old Voodoo2 but XP won't recognize it

creep

Yeah, I'm talking about the ATI card. The voodoo2 card is a lost cause right now

creep

d'oh! i meant the default drivers that XP installs by itself...the generic drivers, basically

creep

well, i tried it and it froze a few times while I was playing NHL2002, which was the main reason i needed my 3d card to work.

so i've gone back to the 98 drivers and am just gonna wait.

creep

will that work?

creep

Right now, they don't have any XP drivers at the ATI site.

creep

ok that's fine, but what about my primary video card?
ATI All in wonder 128 AGP

now, before i installed XP, this card had openGL support. Now, AFTER the install of XP, it doesn't. any ideas?

cuz if i can get it to work, i wont need to buy another 3d card

creep

So you're saying that my Voodoo2 is garbage then huh? at least while i'm running XP? damn!

creep

anyone know where i can get some V2 drivers that'll work for XP?

creep

ok, i found it.
i had to really look for it. in the folders option, there was a check box that said, 'show windows protected files' so i checked that.

it was located in C:\undo

i got back about 400mb

anyone know any thing else i can delete to free up space?

creep

I did that scandisk with both boxes checked and it said that 1gb was in hidden files.

SO that's where my missing space is... BUT i set it so that windows shows ALL files even hidden and system files and STILL can't find it.

please help

creep

Where are the backup for the system restore option kept?

on c:\ i suppose, but where?

creep

Yeah, i turned off system restore also, but can you tell my which folder they are kept in?

creep

So should i have both boxes clicked or just one? cuz you said have both then said one..

creep

so just try a full scan disk action then huh? alright, ill give it a shot

creep

I just added up all the contents of all the folders in C:\ and got 2gigs... so there should be another 2gigs free... but it shows up as 463mb free..

this is really bothering me

can you help?

creep

ok, i don't know if you'll be able to help but here goes...

before i installed XP i had approx. 2.5gb on my c:\ and after i have just a little less than 300mb. Now, XP couldn't have taken up all that space. could it?

any ideas?

creep

YUp, i saved my settings in cablenut adjuster.. not to worry

thanks for your help dude

sorry, but i couldnt find the post where lobo goes into specifics as to tweak XP aside from helping other ppl with their xp probs.
