    External Hard Drive reduced max capacity


    hi guys,

    as far as i remember, i do have an external HDD with a 250G capacity... i bought an enclosure then...
    i think i have this almost 3 years now...

    i have noticed lately that max capacity is now 150G...

    i mean, could this be possible?

    i am really sure that i have a 250G external HDD....

    thanks

    Where are you reading that 150 GB figure? A command prompt? Window Explorer? Diskpart? Other?

    Post a screen shot of Windows Disk Management.

    Is there a label on the disk that states the capacity as 250GB? I do not want to insult your memory, but you might have just remembered the size incorrectly. It happened quite often to me with memory sticks.

    You could also post a screen shot of Disk Management with the drive connected.
