    rite got this hardrive ages ago put in in my comp and fdisked it but it only reconised it as a 130gb. ok comp is old so i put it down to m/board being to old so i still went ahead with the format and left it at that. it sat in cupboard for months. m8 gave me his external hardrive caddy for nothing. so got hardrive out of the cupboard blew the dust of it and conected it all up to my laptop witch is a lot newer than my comp via usb port (not usb 2) so far so good. it reconised it no probs as a 130gb and it let me format it i thought it would c it as a 250gb but it just formated the 130gb on it. i cant seem to get it to fdisk it or need to find someway of it knowing its a 250gb plz help.oh its windows xp home edition im using.
