While formatting my 60 GB H/D. I have lost My 22 GB. How can I gain My lost space.
Some one tell me that while formatting you have set the jumper incorrectly that's why there is problem. Is that so..
I use DM v.9.45 software for formatting. Earlier It shows 60 GB but after the problem or mis formatting Now It shows only 32 GB How can I recover my 22 GB Plz tell

try usin acronis disk director suite
it can fix ur problem

i think its the jumper thing .... chk the back and top ur hdd .... u will c how the jumpers shud be connected ... if im not mistaken thrs an option on most drives to limit the drive capacity .... and next time use the boot disk to format ... old school is the best way

100% correct.

U must hv set the wrong Jumpers.

This options is given in approx. all HDDs. So just read the right jumper settings and apply them.

Right click on My Computer >> Manage >> Storage >> Disk Management (Local)

If you see 22 Gb of unallocated space there, just format it and create a partition out of that
