I know boxing day is supposed to have good sales but can they be that good that you would rush to futureshop hoping you'll be one of the first in? ----------------------------------- md Sun Dec 25, 2005 11:26 pm ----------------------------------- 'Tis a Kodak 5MP with 10x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom, I dunno how much it costs but I'm guessing lots based upon the prices of the cameras I was looking at on their site before x-mas.

Not bad, eh? Now I just need to be able to access more than 137gb of it... Um... partition? :S That's ridiculous though, I have an 180 gig partition on my external. Mac gear! I :heart: Brenda :!: Hehe I :heart: you too :D lol Did you even open your gift yet? XD ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sun Jan 01, 2006 6:11 pm ----------------------------------- I fully intended to partition it into nice little segments, but how do I partition what I cannot see? Apparently, Windows XP with SP1 automatically has support for hard drives of this size. I've got Windows XP Pro, then installed SP1 seperately, and it doesn't seem to work. I hope, when I switch back to linux in a week, that Ubuntu can manage it. ----------------------------------- TheFerret Sun Jan 01, 2006 6:46 pm ----------------------------------- I'm pretty sure that you have to download an update from the Windows site to get it to work... I'm pretty sure that I had to do the same thing when I got my 160 GB hd, not sure what it's called though... ----------------------------------- timmytheturtle Sun Jan 01, 2006 8:47 pm ----------------------------------- I could see all of my 200GB partition in XP Pro SP2 in the "Disk Management" section of Computer Management (that was unformatted, you lose space once you partitioned it). I partitioned it to have 156GB partion and a 30GB partiton (not formated) Cervantes: Even if you go through all the trouble of getting windows to reconize all the drive your only going to be getting 149 GB because of formatting. Here's a [url=http://www.techimo.com/forum/t157864.html]link from techimo.com that deals with that issue of getting Windows to see all the space, and another one from [url=http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=303013]MS ----------------------------------- Cervantes Mon Jan 02, 2006 9:13 am ----------------------------------- Thanks for the link. Windows Disk Management sees the extra 62gb partition, and it appears as if it can format it, though I didn't go through with it since I don't need it at the moment. This is good, but I'm really not concerned about whether windows can detect it. I'm switching back to linux in a couple of days, and I hope Breezy can detect it. ----------------------------------- timmytheturtle Mon Jan 02, 2006 2:46 pm ----------------------------------- I'm switching back to linux in a couple of days, and I hope Breezy can detect it. I think I will install Breezy on the 30GBpartition I didn't format and see if it can detect all the drive space I have. But I don't see a reason why it wouldn't since it's more up to date then XP SP1 is, and SP2 seemed to fix the problem (well atleast for me it did) ----------------------------------- md Wed Jan 04, 2006 12:20 am ----------------------------------- Off of the topic of hard drives, and back on course with x-mas gifts; I got the best present ever from my girlfriend (at least if your a geek like me...); [url=http://www.nxor.org/42.jpg]clicky!
