    I brought a 1tb seagate witch was formatted in ntfs.I changed the format to fat32 (to use with my ps3) using swifnife and now i only have 497gb.I formatted it back to ntfs but it still has 479gb.Is there a way to get my 1tb back and in fat32? I also tried hdd capacity restore but it can't detect my hdd.

    Thanks

    Use computermanagement>disk management to fix this.
