Firstly, if this is on the wrong forum, let me apologise - - -not sure if this belongs here or the operating systems one - or am I on that and it belongs to the storage thingy ???
Owing to problems encountered with my PC, I decided to re-format last night and have had " funny " results. System ? Athlon 600mhz, 384 RAM, W98SE, 2 hard discs, a 60gb Hitachi/IBM master and a 40gb IBM slave. I attempted to restore my 60gb to a backup, taken on Saturday and stored on the slave. Got continuous errors re corrupted files so decided to format and reload w98se back - - - - . I formatted C drive, fdisked and restored system - - - only to find that my 60gb had changed to a 49gb'er, and no sign of me secondary 40gb D drive !!!! I know these drives sometimes do not reflect there size but this master defo registered as 60gb when my system was working - - - and even more importantly, the disappearance of my 40 gb one is disastrous - - -all my backups and system settings / accounts on this. On boot up, both drives are there, BIOS is set to autodetect - - - a utility I have been running lately ( due to other problems) picks up the fact that there are 2 drives there, with correct size . Anyone any ideas here ???
Oh, and if I'm in the wrong place - - I'll get me coat !!!
