Help

Help please
I'm afraid I'm very much a beginner with PCs, I've been using Macintosh for many years.
I have replaced my 40 GB hard disk on my T43 with a new Hitachi 100 GB disk. I cloned the disk using the second hard disk adapter for the Ultra Bay. Everything seemed to be going very smoothly but upon physically switching the two drives the computer still thinks I've got a 40 GB hard drive instead of the hundred gigabyte I have replaced it with.
Could somebody give a beginner a hand and tell me how to get the computer to recognise my larger hard disk.
Many thanks
Interestingly there is no error message on startup but I is soon that will starts as soon as I tell the computer I have got the larger disk.
Cheers John

Hi John
depending on what program you used to clone your hd it only will fdisk the hd into a 40 gb drive leaving the other 60 gb untouched so you can boot into safe mode command prompt buy hitting f8 when your computer first start up and fdisk the hd and add another drive letter and have a C drive and a D drive with E drive being your cd drive. or you can use somthing like partition magic and let it combine the 2 drives into one big one.

hope this helps
