how do i restore factory capacity on wd external drive?
i have a wd 250Gb external drive using with 32bit win7 laptop. due to reasons unknown it is presently showing 149Gb.
for information, i have tried disk management<volume expand>, used data lifeguard diagnostic tests and all passed, but the figure still remains the same.
also tried AOMEI partition help to expand and remove partitions if any invisible, tried wiping it and adding zeros both in the short and long versions, but to no avail.
finally in seven forums i went over a similar problem and complied with the suggestion to try HDD capacity restore, but the website does not mention win7 compatibility; moreover it does install well but does not recognize any disks, either internal or external,
It would be appreciative if i can get hold of a similar solution which restores it back to factory settings.
thx. in anticipation.
