IDE Maxtor 250gb Hard drive Problem.

Samboyd93 · Oct 18, 2010

Hello, I've recently done a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate and one of my harddrives is not showing up correctly. The harddrive itself is my Local Disk D, it hasn't got any system files on it however it is displaying at the wrong size:

The problem lies in the fact that on boot my Computer's BIOS detects the harddrive as a 233GB harddrive. This is not a problem as I understand that the harddrive itself isn't the exact size as what it says on the box, however the Windows 7 installation and Windows itself only detects the harddrive as being 148gb.

What I've Tried Doing:

I've tried different things to resolve this issue. I've looked at the Disk Management, but there are no extra partitions and I've also looked at the harddrive in Partition Manager which again only picked up 149gb and no unallocated space.
I've run a partition recovery tool in Partition Manager which did not detect any lost partitions containing the rest of the harddrive.

My System:

Hello samboyd93. Welcome to the forum.

The only thing I can think of is that the drive is set as a SATA2 drive on an older computer that only does SATA1 (please fill in your "My System Specs" to help avoid these kinds of guesses) although I doubt it.

If you look at the back of the HDD there are jumper pins. Setting a jumper sets the SATA speed on most drives. You may need to consult the HDD's documentation to see what the different jumper positions do. Every manufacturer has a different setup.

I would try setting the drive as SATA1 to test. But both drives should be at the same setting. Also try plugging the problem drive into a different port or using a different SATA cable. Can't hurt, might help.

You should also go into your BIOS and check the settings for that drive and compare them to the settings for the other drive. They should be the same.

Hope that helps.

boohbah · Oct 19, 2010

there is possibly a hidden recycle bin that has a reason for discrepancy, i had a prob of 50 odd GB missing and this was the soloution,
will search for my thread about that then get back

EDIT: ok back now the thread is HERE and has a load of helpful info ,its worth a check !

SledgeDG · Oct 19, 2010

Seeing how Maxtor is now Seagate, I would run the SeaTool to determine the actual state of your drive. ~100 GB don't just disappear into thin air.

What is the make and model of the motherboard? It may take an install of proper motherboard/chipset drivers (if available) other than the ones that Windows installs by default .Also both drives are showing as SCSI drives,

Drive: C:
Free Space: 105.5 GB
Total Space: 114.5 GB
File System: NTFS
Model: ST912082 SCSI Disk Device
Drive: D:
Free Space: 152.4 GB
Total Space: 152.5 GB
File System: NTFS
Model: SAMSUNG SCSI Disk Device

which is probably contributing to the problem.

SledgeDG · Oct 19, 2010

mmm I should have read that System report better

There is a Seagate ST 912082 (which is a 2.5" 120GB IDE or Sata drive)
and a Samsung 152 GB scsi without closer specification ???

where is the maxtore?

Samboyd93 · Oct 19, 2010

I should explain the issue further to help you all out:

Currently, I have three harddrives in my computer: the 120gb 2.5" Seagate, a 160gb Samsung HD16OJJ and the problematic Maxtor. I don't know much about the Maxtor, but it reads on it: "Maxtor DiamondMax 16 250GB ATA/133 HDD.

The 2.5" 120gb is a new addition to my motherboard (Asus SK8V) which I added the day before the initial post in this thread. This replaced a 160gb Samsung HD161HJ which stopped working after I left my computer idle for 45 minutes. When it broke, it took with it my second RAID slot on my motherboard.

I use a lot of space on my computer, so I decided I would migrate to not using RAID so that I could still have three hard drives and just use the normal SATA slots. My 250GB has been on my motherboard's one IDE slot all this time and worked fine, but now I've turned RAID off and switched to turning off my Promise drivers or running in Onboard IDE Operations (Is that what it's called?) it only reads as 149GB. It worked perfectly fine before my RAID went bust and I had to migrate to the normal SATA slots and even if I turn back to RAID, windows dosen't like detecting the full 250GB.

As for what you pointed out stormy and Sledge, I don't know why it's not appearing in my DxDiag. It does appears in the BIOS at the correct size, but it is registring in Windows itself at the wrong size.

chev65 · Oct 19, 2010

Most likely the drive has an extra partition on it. You can try cleaning the partitions by using the the diskpart commands. The "clean" command "fast" should get rid of the extra partition if there is one. The "clean all" command is for rezeroing the drive, takes forever.

Samboyd93 · Oct 19, 2010

Thank you for all of your help, but I resolved the issue. I do not know why, but force-installing the Windows XP drivers for the Promise Sata378 solved the issue and made Windows show the proper space. I don't understand why this made a difference, especially as these are XP drivers and it may be tempormental but it will get me by.

Glad you worked it out.
Thanks for the feedback
