hey guys,
i recently installed windows xp service pack 1 on a new system i built. I have a 250GB hdd but as we all know, old versions of XP can only read 131gb. so i updated to sp2 and now it shows my hdd is 250GB, but only 131gb are usable because the rest isnt formatted. i ran disk management and selected to format all the unallocated space to a new X: drive. however as soon as the formatting finished, the computer crashed. i couldnt get it to boot again until i shut off the machine and turned it back on. now it shows the X: drive in My Computer, but it still isnt formatted. i tried formatting it again as NTFS by right clicking but again it crashed upon completion. does anyone know what i can do to get the rest of my hard drive space usable? thanks alot for the help
