After having a few problems with my pc,basically it was running like a bag of spanners i decided to use kill disk and kill my drive and,i did a clean install of winxp pro with service pack 2 and let it go about it`s buisness,once it had completed the set up and i got my pc back to running like a new one,i noticed that the hard drive had been renamed to I drive and not C drive,i also noticed that one of my removable disks had been renamed to C,but more puzzeling was that the I drive which should have been C drive was only showing a capacity of 122gb,before i started the drive was a 250 gb drive,so were as my other 178gb gone?and why did it rename it I?
My hard drive is a WDC WD2500JD-OOHBBO
My opreating system is winxp pro,
I have 5 removable disks-named c,d,e,f, and j
A dvd-rw drive named G
A dvd drive named H
Ant help would be most welcome,because i am totally confused to why this should happen.
