A Hard drive that Can give more!
I just bought a 13gb HD, got it installed and windows too! But i receive the computer and windows tells me that i have a 8.4 Gb disk. I know that i can use a program like drivemanager or something from the company (in this case Maxtor) to go beyond the 8.4 Gb limit, but now that everyting is installed, i think it is too late, i dont know if the utility will wipe the content of the HD. I do not want that.... The tech that installed the hd surely not work very long on solving that, leaving me with something less that i paid for!
Hope you can help me..... again!

Even with PM, you may not be able to accomplish this withouth wiping the drive clean.
Check out the hard drive manufacturers web site to get their disk utility software. This should let you create a patition on the drive to utilize the entire thing.
go back to the place that loaded the drive, and tell them about this. If they are decent, they will help you out.

¿Are you really sure?, I've seen the most rare and obscure thing done with PM, and data deletion is almost non-existent.
But, unfortunately, I don't have PM now to test that, so, I must believe you...
