I thought I was running XP Pro with a 20 gig, but Norton Utilities says it's 9.36 gigs, so maybe it's only 9.36. Is it possible the drive is partitioned and it only shows up as 9.36, but there's still half that it's not showing?

FYI;
As soon as you go up to winxp, you can say goodby to your 16bit ISA peripherals.
98 second edition was the last one to support 16bit ISA stuff.
I have Windows ME and an abandoned $200 Soundblaster AWE64 GOLD to prove it. :mecry:

Disk Management will show you what you have. You can get there this way:
Right click on My Computer. Click Manage > Storage > Disk Management.

It will also allow you to create a partition in any free space.
