Hello.
When I installed Win XP my hard drive wouldn't work. I then figured out that I could set the jumper settings so my 80 gig hard drive would read as a 32 gig hard drive. This was when I was first getting everything setup and now about a year later, I would like to utilize the entire 80 gigs if needed. Is this jumper setting like a "ghost" setting meaning I can REALLY use 80 gigs but it tricks the system into thinking there's 32 when it boots up? Question 2: If I remove that jumper setting so when the computer boots it should recoginize the full 80 gigs, will that damage the hard drive or erase any data?
Does Win XP allow partitioning?(without having to buy a program to do it) I haven't done it before but would this be the best option to utilize all 80 gigs??


Thanks guys!!!
