Quote from Simon "You might want to hang on till somebody intelligent comes along!"
Not that I claim to have more intelligence Simon,but I have more hair than you
I seem to remember being told to avoid NTFS like the plague for win 2K as its hard to get it back to FAT 32 later
I assume it would be similar for any other OS too.
When you formatted it,did you just format or do a "Fill with zeroes " thing first ?
I know with 80 gig it will take forever but I would suggest trying that then formatting again and seeing if it will "see" it all in FAT 32 afterwards
As an afterthought,although I dont think it will apply in your case,I recently saw a post somewhere saying that someone put a larger drive in than their PC could cope with.I think it saw 7.5 gigs of 20 gig
They got around it by using Partition Magic to partition into nothing bigger that 7.5 gig ones.
Hope this helps
