I'm no computer genius, but I do know that if you don't format a drive correctly, you will limit its size to 127 or 137 Gb. Maybe even Mb. Read up on it before you do something that may lock you out of many Gb of storage. I always let someone who knows what he's doing format my drives for Windows. I pay him and it works...
My system: AMD Phenom 9500 cpu, 2 x eVGA e-GeForce 8800GTS Superclocked vidcards (640Mb DDR3 each), Zalman "sunflower" 9700 fan, Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 mobo, 4Gb G.Skill PC2-6400 DDR2 800Mhz RAM, 2 x Sony 20X DVD writers, Thermaltake Toughpower 8
