Übrigens welches Betriebssystem verwendest Du? WinNT 4.0 kann nur Platten bis 8GB verwalten, der Speicherplatz darüber wird nicht verwendet.

Richtigstellung:

NT kann nur nicht von Partitions &gt; 7.8GB booten

"With a standard sector size of 512 bytes, the 24 bits used to record the starting and ending sector addresses translates into a maximum possible partition size of 7.8GB (8,455,716,864 bytes) which can be described with these fields. This is particularly important because the same field sizes are employed by the INT 13 BIOS interface which defines how the system BIOS interacts with the hard disk and is used while booting."

"Although Windows NT 4.0 can in theory support partitions of up to 16 exabytes in size using the NTFS file system, the maximum size of the system partition is limited to 7.8 gigabytes (GB)."
http://support.microsoft.com/support.../Q224/5/26.ASP

"Windows 2000 will support (bootable) partitions larger than 8GB provided the booting controllers BIOS supports EXT INT-13 BIOS calls."
