When I came back the girl and woman where standing next to eachother talking to the owner of the race. Someone explain it to me plz!

Hard drive problem
I bought a brand new desktop a few days ago from Dell. The hard drive is from Samsung:
samsung HD160JJ/P, the volume of this hard disk is 160G.
When this desktop comes, Windows XP professinal is preinstalled in it with 2 hidden partitions.
The volume of one hidden partition is about 47MB; the volume for the other is about 3GB.
Step1: I used PQMagic8.0 to partition the hard disk to allocate 20G to disk C and let the remaining alone.
then PQMagic8.0 successfully allocated 20G volume to disk C. The remaining part is the unallocated hard drive.
Step 2: Then I turnd to tool called disk management from Windows XP Professional to allocate 30G from the
unallocated hard drive. Again succeeded.
So far the hard drive still has about 100G capacity unallocated.
Then bad thing comes.
Step 3: When I tried formatting the remaining unallocated hard drive while still using disk management tool from windows XP, it failed.
First I left-clicked on the unallocated hard drive, then right-click to come up with pop-up menu, the submenu "new Partition"
is grey and unactivated this time and I coundn't use it to format this unallocated hard drive.
But I succeeded through this way in Step 2 to get a 30G partition from the unallocated hard drive.
Step 4: I moved back to PQMagic8.0, and even PQMagic 8.0 failed to work. The key point is the correspondent menu/command is unactivated
when it worked on the last remaining unallocate hard drive.
Step 5: then I tried to use Windows XP installation CD to partition the unallocated hard drive. Failed again. The abnormality is as follows:
Before the installation procedure moved to the partition screen. The desktop collapsed with blue screen, providing the following prompts:
check for virus on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives controller, check your hard drive to make sure it is properly
comfigured and terminate. Run CHKDSK /F to check hard drive corruption and then restart your computer.
Step 6: check virus ------- no virus on the desktop at all.
run CHKDSK /F. hard drive is in good condition
Step 7: restart windows, windows operating system is fine and everything is fine in Windows operating System.
Step 8: when I tried step 3, step 4, step 5, still failed with same abnormality or prompting infomation.
How can I make the unallocated hard drive partitioned ?????
Thanks a lot.
The problem is that I have no way to partition the unallocated hard drive. Each method I mentioned above failed when I tried using them to partition the remaining unallocated hard drive.
My objective is to partition the unallocated hard disk. and let the two hidden partitions alone.
How to active the unallocated space?

My computer runs Windows XP SP2. I have a IBM 60G hard drive as primary drive (IDE0) and just bought a Seagate ST3750640A drive. My intention is to use the new Seagate drive as the primary drive and discard the old IBM drive. I used the DiscWizard program to transfer the files and clicked on the "Use the new drive as boot drive and discard the old drive" option. After the reboot, my computer recognized both drives with their correct settings (IBM as primary and Seagate as slave and with both as having the correct sizes of 60 GB and 750GB). The BIOS recognized both drives at IDE0 and IDE1 as "hard drive".
I then remove the old IBM drive and change the Seagate jumper to the master setting and connect the first (black) IDE connector that used to be connected to the IBM drive to the Seagate drive as this connector is used for the master drive. I also change the BIOS setting to auto detect on the IDE0 and off on the IDE1 positions. The BIOS now says both drives as "unknown devices".
To Terry, I simply removed the old IBM drive (old master) and connect the IDE cable from it to the new Seagate drive (old slave, now new master) and change the Seagate drive jumper from slave to master. No other changes in hardware setting. I also change BIOS setting of both IDE0 and 1 to auto. The computer reads IDE0 as "unknown device" in both positions and IDE1 as CD-ROM (I have a CD ROM drive in the IDE1 master position). I simply don't understand why the computer can see the new Seagate drive when it is set as slave in conjunction with the old IBM drive as master but when the new Seagate drive is the only master drive it is not recognized and will not boot.

My coworker has problems accessing our network drive. She'll go to open the network drive in Windows Explorer and it doesn't open. Usually, simply remapping the drive worked. Originally we thought the problem was that when her user account was set up, the logon script wasn't included. However, after the problem came back, now I would have to disconnect the drive before remapping it.
Today we ran into a new problem. Our network drive is the G drive, and when it wouldn't open I disconnected the drive, then went to remap it, but I could not select G from the list of drive letters. It still thinks the G drive is in use but it cannot be opened. I tried mapping the network drive as the I drive, and it worked fine.
Other drives in use:
C - hard drive
D - recovery partition
E - CD-ROM
F - External Hard Drive
G - disconnected network drive
H - home folder
I - mapped network drive
S - disconnected network drive
Any help would be much appreciated - thanks!

I have ten computers, all of which will have a C drive and a second 2GB hard drive solely meant for storing data. Users of these ten machines will store any and all data on this 2GB hard drive instead of on their C drive.
I have installed this second 2GB drive on one machine and have named it, "L" and I want to clone (or copy) my C drive with the operating system and all applications to each of the ten machines that will also hold the 2GB hard drive. But when I clone my, "master" to the ten other drives that are to be each machine's C drive, physically install them (and physically install the 2GB drives) into the ten machines and boot each machine up, the drive name of the 2GB drive changes to, "D" and not, "L". Is there any way that I can make my, "master" drive carry over the drive letter path to each of the ten machines when cloning them instead of having to go to each single machine and change the drive letter manually? The drive letter just keeps changing to, "D." Help?!?!

Maybe someone had the SAME problem and could help. Listen carefully:
There are two 250GB hard drives on new XP machine. Everything worked fine. Then suddenly the icon for D drive disappeared. I went to command prompt and typed d: but it sad the drive didn't exist. I rebooted the machine and went to BIOS - it was there. Both drives: I continued booting up, now, it's very fast computer, but I'm almost 100% sure it shows both drives before windows logo. It boots normaly, but when open My computer, no drive D, as
if it's never been installed. It shows all other drives. C: (system) and DVD icon. Now I reboot in safe mode, it sees both drives. I doubleclick on D: and it shows all the folders and files are there.
Back to normal mode, no D drive. I checked the computer managment console and it only sees the C, no D.
So, BIOS-OK, Windows (normal boot)-shows info initially about both disks. But when it boots, no D drive exists. Links refering to any file on D drive report missing drive.
I went through computer management console, did rescan and I got the disk back. I suspect some virus is inside :)

Just recently bought a new Western Digital 160GB External USB Drive. I already have a WD 80GB drive too. For some reason my 160GB drive acts odd when I have it plugged in. I could be doing nothing on my PC and there seems to be activity on that drive for some reason. I'm not pressing any keys, or touching the mouse.
At times I have both drives plugged in for file swapping. This works fine. I've taken my old drive off the PC, and this new drive still seems to have activity on it. I can see the light and hear the drive making sounds. Also, when I try to transfer stuff from my 160GB drive to my 80GB drive, not all information gets transferred. I have plenty of space on both drives, but some data never gets across.
Other than this, the drive works fine.
Anybody experience this before? I tried putting everything onto the smaller drive (since it works better), but all my data never goes across fully, I don't get errors while transferring, so kind of confused.

I can't see any "Indexing Options" after I go into Properties, I only see 5 tabs, and none of them have Indexing in them. Posted the question here so other folks can see the answer. Thanks
