Hi,
I have a 1 TB Seagate Barracuda drive that I kind of screwed up. On my HP machine I went into the BIOS and changed the drive type (I think) from IDE to RAID.
The primary drive is a 160 GB drive. Now, when I connected this second drive and powered on the PC, the capacity of the 1 TB has become 160 GB due to the BIOS settings. I have tried Ctrl + I but it shows both drives as Non-RAID so I can't un RAID them.
I have tried Windows 7 disk management but it still shows as a 160 GB drive and does not show any other partitions or unused / unallocated space. Tried to install Windows on that drive but same result.
Is there a way, preferably on Windows that I can format the drive back to 1 TB and use it?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Cheers
