    if you were to right click your hard drive than click properties should tell you near top left side whether fat32 or ntfs

    My hard drive is NTFS. Also, I called maxtor suppoort and he gave me an idea of what I need to do. Apparently my hard drive is partioned because I could not use the excess amount of space prior to installing service pack 2. He told me to delete the partition and do a quick format and everything should be ok. But I have one small problem....now I don't remember how to get to the hard drive screen where all of my hard drives and partitions are displayed. Can anyone tell me how to get back to that screen?

    I fixed my hard drive by upgrading to sp 2 and deleting the partition. Thank you everyone for your help!
