I recently purchased a new hard disk drive and what i want to do is set it to be the main boot hd (primary). I've checked with the jumper settings but when i do so and try to install the os in the drive it only shows me 32 point something gb of space (its 160 gb actually). I want to know what should i do to get it to run as the main hard drive from where my os runs. The old hd i have is of 80 gb (Hitachi) and the new ones 160 gb (seagate). Please help.Thank u in advance.
