I am having the same problem as Flyboy.
I Gig Atholon T-Bird
Asus AV7
256 SD 133 Ram
Viper Vid. Card 770
Sound Blaster Live
Windows ME
I built the system with 2 old (10 gig) hard drives & got the system stable. Bought a new WD 30 gig, ata 100, 7200 RPM Sat. & haven't been able to install it with the whole disk in tact. I end up with a 2.1 gig partiton & a 28 gig partition. I can only work in the 2.1 gig partition. I can not get to the 28 gig partitoin. I've tried fdisk. I can fdisk eiter partitoin. I can format each partition, but I can not get rid of the partiton. WD support post told me to run Diagonos in the ez install program that came with the hard drive, & run SET ZEROS option, but when I try to get there it comes up for 2 secs. & then dissapheres. I can not run this program. Also it moves my drive letters to the right by 1 as well.
If I load up everything OS & all it fills up the 2 gig partiton & thats it, I'm done. System will run, I just don't have any disk to work with.
Thanks in advance for the help.
