Took out my old drive, put in the 1TB, boot up, the BIOS only sees 33MB. It has nothing to do with Windows. I messed with a few hard drive settings in the BIOS and rebooted a few times and it came up as 1TB. Not sure which one of the settings did it.

You would have to either create one additional 55GB partition or delete the old 23.3 GB partition and create a new 80GB one. Hard drives do not function without partitions, so 23.3 GB is the existing partition on that drive. In this case it really does not have one 80GB partition but one 23.3GB partition :).

I do not want to hijack the thread thus taking up your valuable time and precluding you from helping others. Perhaps I haven't made myself clear. I have two hard drives on my PC. One is 30gb and registers just the right capacity on your program. In it I have my OS. No issues with that drive. I am trying to connect a second hard drive for storage, just one big 80gb partition. Your program tells me that this specific 80gb drive does not need to be resized. However, when I look at it from MyComputer it shows not 80gb but 23.3gb. If I understood you well, I must partition tis additional (slave) hard drive since I can't use a whole 80gb partition. Maybe I am wrong. I appreciate your free program and all your help.
