I just finished building my new computer, but it says i only have 50gb of memory (my ssd) instead of 2050 gb of memory, also my video card and others are not working due to drivers.
Drivers should of came with the hardware...
Just get a list of all of your components, get the drivers, and put them on a 512mb flash drive.
thing is, the hdd's didnt come with any drivers.....

Drive Sweeper or something should be able to
ok, on the manual for the hard disks it says to partition and format them, because they need no drivers. but i cannot partition or format them because even though they show on bios, they dont show on windows.
If you have Windows 7, drivers should not be necessary for most of your hardware.
[QUOTE=Ca5bah;29048486]Are you serious?[/QUOTE] and yes. i'm being completely serious :/

Delete the partition through Windows installation and then recreate it.
i cant see it on the installation though... treat me like i have no idea what the fuck i'm doing, what EXACTLY are you suggesting i do first? [editline]7th April 2011[/editline] 900 posts :toot:
Right click my computer, manage, can't remember what's it called right now and using a Finnish Windows 7 but I think it's like storage management or such. Easy from there on.
If you want to do it straight up, get a Gparted live disc and format the drive.
ok, they are appearing in the management, thanks [editline]7th April 2011[/editline] i see em, it says they are functioning, yet they do not appear under the computer tab and are unusable.
Right-click, create partition. Or volume if it says volume instead of partition. The hard drives are there, functioning but they have no partitions on them. Have to format them first, then you can use them.

For the longest time I had no idea that management console existed and battled with hard drives not working :v: It's the reason most manufacturers pre-format their drives. I prefer it when they don't now though.

just hit windows key and R type DISKMGMT.MSC right click blank drive create partition follow instructions then you're set
More to the right, on the part that shows partitions etc., not the drive itself. [editline]8th April 2011[/editline] [img]http://gyazo.com/59d5999363e396a3a2e2a61253e3de3e.png[/img]

Today I learned that Windows has a partition manager.

I'm pretty sure someone has to guide you through putting socks on in the morning. "Look down, you should see your feet." "I see nothing." "Right there..." "My legs?" "Right under those." "AHHH" "Now take the sock." "What sock?" ...
