Re: HD problem - Lost capacity

I have seen a tool that is able to resize the HDD on the firmware level, but I am not sure which one it was. I know that it was one of the HDD manufacturer's tools, like Seatools, WD Drive Diagnostics or PowMax.

Re: What is the best way to store files?

Did you ever find a solution to this? I am running an almost identical (e6300, ds3, gskill ram, 7900gt) setup and I am seeing the same problem. I have the latest (f10) BIOS.
