Storage Solutions Hdd space just disappeared!

[Yogesh Sarkar]

I was planning to reinstall Windows XP on my system on the second hdd I have (Seagate 1TB 7200.12) and decided to delete the existing primary partitions on it through window’s drive management tool. Once I did that and rebooted the system, the BIOS and Windows are only recognizing that hdd as a 32MB one!

Tried changing the SATA port, cable and even removed the bios batter and rebooted the system, but to no avail.

Any idea why this is happening and whether or not I can still recover the hdd or would I have to RMA it now?

yes + 1 to above. Post the screen shot of the disk management tool. there is a possibility that the drive would have been converted as a dynamic disc.
