I recently installed a Maxtor 160GB hard drive, and it only shows that I have 130 GB to stor stuff(combining the F and E drive). Where did the other memory go. I used the slayers auto installer to install things.
A number of reasons: You have C: D: E: F: and possibly also G: drives when using a greater than 137GB drive. Add all of these up and you may get closer to 160. Secondly Slayer uses up a fair amount of space with the installed applications. Thirdly - HDs never give you access to 100% capacity - after formatting you will always loose a percentage of the available capacity. Same with PC's (FAT, FAT32 NTFS) Lastly - depends on what chip you have installed - only the newer chips and firmware allow use of HD's bigger than 137GB.
I checked the drive, and drive G doesn't look like its activated. I have the X-cuter 2.3 Pro, I am not sure the bios though. Is there any way to activate the G drive without having to reformat the whole drive? I think all the extra space (close to 30 gigs) should be available on that partition
