    Hi i have just upgraded my stock hard drive to a 80 gig western digital and
    i have 2 problems

    1) i have 2 halfs of the F partition (i think) one for games which is 65 gig and one for video thats 65 gig how is that possible with an 80 gig hard drive and can i merge them together to make one big space for games

    2) i have got games saved on the E partition but every time i try to launch them they both return me to the dashboard is there a way i can get them working again

    Any information on either would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks
    Menphus

    You can only have 1 F parition, I am guessing that is 65GB and the rest goes to C:, E: etc..


    Your probably seeing the free space in the games folder and the videos folder, but since they are on the same drive its providing you with the same space reading.


    Its impossible for an 80GB drive to give you 130GB + heh, unless you installed a 160GB drive...

    Are you sure its an 80GB and not a 160GB?

    Well see an 80GB drive formatted will only display about 75GB its something with the way they rate the size of hard drives.

    The remaining ~10GB goes to your E drive to store your saved games, characters, high scores etc. and the remaining goes to C:\ and the other cache drives..
