Hi,
I'm actually posting this for a friend, he has an Acer laptop with dual core 1.8 Ghz intel chip, 2GB ram and a 160GB disc. Recently, after a virus he needed to reinstall Vista 32 bit Home Premium. (No recovery partition) The install went smoothly but, when completed, only showed 80GB of hdd. We have checked in the BIOS and that is only showing the same, tried refomatting, deleting the partition, reinstalling from a raw drive but always the same.
Would I be right in thinking the virus has caused the problem and is the damage irrepairable? I find it strange that 'half' a hdd should go down.
Thanks for reading this, have a nice day.
