ASUS G50v A1 hd problems

Hey, I only have 200gb detected for my computer the second hard drive is not working. When i boot into bios it detects that there is 2 hard drives p0 and p2. On windows 7 Disk management it shows disk 0 238 gb and its all unallocated. I also flashed the bios back to 2.03, it was on 2.13, and I also tried the method where you load user default. please help!

 

right click and format the "unallocated" drive. format it as NTFS and it should appear in My Computer.

 

It does not give me the option when i right click on it it only gives me:

When i right click on disk 0:
- convert to dynamic disk
- convert to gpt disk
- offline
- properties
-help

When i right click on the 232.88.gb un allocated space

- new simple volume
-properties
-help

 

New Simple Volume is what you want on the unallocated disk

 

thanks alot eiement

 

I don't believe you can share drives like that in Windows. You'd have to move folders and such instead. I have my drives partitioned every which way with my programs on C, some games on D, documents on E, etc etc.

Moving your personal stuff (music/documents/etc) isn't too hard--if you right click on say the My Music folder, you can go to Properties>>Location and click "Move..." and you can move the contents and the My Music folder location itself to anywhere you want. Now when you save something to the Music folder it'll save to the other drive. Repeat this for your Documents/Downloads/etc folders to free up some space on your C: drive.

Something else you can look into is moving the page file onto A:, to save up space on your C: drive and arguably speed up your disk performance.
