Problems using old internal HDD as external Drive?
-
I am well aware it's possible, that's not really what I'm asking. The drive I want to use is a 500Gb drive and has vista installed, but when I come to format it claims to have 406Gb... I think the lost space is what the operating system is taking up, I want to format the drive but will it only format the 406Gb instead of the full 500Gb? There are no partitions either.... that I know of, or can see. Thanks in advance.

Answer:
There has to be a hidden partition somewhere on the drive. Hard drives do not actually format to a full 500GB capacity, it is more like 460GB due to the discrepancy between a Hard drive GB and a Computer GB (1,073,000,000 vs 1,000,000,000). So there is likely a 55GB hidden partition on the drive somewhere.
