The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

XP System reports 1Gig HD on an 80Gig Partition

Asked by juanfermin in Hard Drives & Storage

Tags:

I have a 2GHz Compaq EVO, with a Gig of RAM and running winXP pro and NTFS File System.  I had a problem with the OS crashing, so I reinstalled the OS (Repaired system) and when it came back up, I had to reinstall DiskKeeper.  After a couple of days, I noticed that I was getting an error that I was running low on Disk space.  Turns out, its reporting that my 80Gig HD is only 1 Gig.  At first I thought, OK, lets reinstall the OS, but I still get the same problem.  HD sounded a bit funny, so I thought I would replace that with a 160GB HD, but still having the same problem (copied over OS with Partition Magic).  I also tried upgrading DiskKeeper to version 10, but no luck.  The funny thing is that if you go into the Disk Management page, it reports the correct size HD, but once you right click and hit properties, it only shows a 1GB hd, with about 40MB free.  It's actually a 74GB HD, with about 26GB free.  During the Hurricane last year, I lost almost all my install discs (in the office that got destroyed) so I really dont want to wipe out and restore.  Any ideas?Start Free Trial
