If you aren't using the drive, it goes back in to my good usable parts for the needy bin.

It's one of the 7200 RPM IBM Deskstar screamer drives. Still one of the faster drives out there, and tough as nails.

Right Click My computer, manage, device manager, and hit disk drives, and get the model number(s). That will tell us what is physically in the machine.

Next, Don't close any windows, an in computer managemetn click, storage, Disk Management.

On Disk0, and/or Disk1, should have partitions, sizes, and types... You may have to "hover" your cursor over some of the descriptions to get the full details.

Type those things up and post them... We'll figure it out.

On second thought, you can be lazy, and do a start, run, msinfo32

Go to Components, storage, and then cut and paste the stuff from the right side for the sub headings Drives, and Disks for us.
