So I found HDD Capacity Restore... & nonexistant slave drive

[Gavinfoxx]

So I was browsing the net when I found this neat little program, and seeing as how I have an old computer, I wondered if I might very well have more space on my hard drive than I would otherwise expect. So I installed HDD Capacity restore, and apparently, I have a slave hard drive that I never knew about? Gyuh? In my computer, as near as I can tell, there is physically only one hard drive. But maybe something somewhere is a hard drive that I just have never noticed? There's something that seems to be the right shape... so I unno... Anyway, it says Channel #0 Master, a Maxtor 51024U2, and channel #0 slave, WDC WD400BB-00DEA0. The computer is a pretty old Dell XPS T600r. Anyone know anything about these computers? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

And anyway, if it turns out that I dont have a second hard drive, how do I get the program to take a look at the first one to see if I can get any more size out of it? Thanks!

Hi,

It definitely looks like U are having 2 drives in this PC, moreover they are on the same channel, so if U open it and see the first one, the second one should be connected to the same 40 wire cable, since they are on the same channel.
the Maxtor is of capacity 10G, the WD is of 40G.
U should be able to check the installed drives in XP, go to Device manager -> Disk Drives, and U should see them in the Disk Management console as well.
