hard drive problem

my motherboard died,so i replaced it with one that is almost the same.
my drives that are in raid that has the OS, booted up fine.
a WD500GB-one partition-sata2 data drive that has data is showing 128GB (active) and 337.76 (unallocated).

 

so what's exactly the issue??

I think he wants to know what happened to unallocated space it could have had data?

 

Unallocated/Unpartitioned HDD space. No, it was absolutely empty.

 

Sounds like there used to be a drive loaded to get past the 128Mb barrier that some bioses had early on. If that driver is not loading, then the system will not see the drive partitions as they were?

 

wasn't that barrier lower,it came more to light when 120GB drives came out?
i just checked the bios and there is no reason for me to flash.
i didn't think of checking because:
1.it supports core 2 quad and DDR3,but not large drives??? :3eyes:
2.my C drive is bigger then 128GB,it's two 74GB drives.

 

Can you still access its data or will it not let you get into it? If you can still access it, I wouldn't worry about it. If its acting like you need to format that partition, then maybe its a driver or BIOS issue not picking it up. Have you flashed to the latest BIOS?
