Recover Memory

[RiggyMortice]

Howdy Folks:
I blew it.
Playing with a couple of partition programs I totally wiped out my hard drive (lost 3/4 of it)
Its a 120gig and it shows only 31.4 gigs.
I bought a 40 gig hard rive and put the 120 gig as slave.
Everythng seems to work ok except for that 120gig .
I'm not interested in any recovery from that 120gigger for I had everything backed up.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Have Fun !!! Riggy

This utility is to be run from a floppy.

Use the /ERASE_ENTIRE option.

When done, reboot it back into Windows and use XP's Disk Management to partition and format it.

Thanks GLC for the help. Downloaded the utility and still only 33gigs showed..I did a visual inspection of the disk and found that I had jumpered the hard drive to set a limit of 34 gigs.
Took the jumper out as per diagram and lo and behold magic.
Got my 120 gigs back and Im a happy camper.
Thanks again for the help.
Have Fun !!! Riggy
