I bought yesterday a new 80 G (8M cache) hard drive and when I tried to
use
Fdisk or Partition Magic to format it both programs showed that disk
was divided 8M and 76G.

I couldn't delete 8M part which is obviously useless.

Anyway it works but I disabled 8M part of the disk to get off the letter

showing in Windows 8m hard drive which with its capacity was piece of
rubbish.

Is this the nature of 80G seagate or I bought a faulty disk?

Thanks,

Chris


That's normal. I've got a IBM 40gig drive that Partition Magic shows 7.8meg as
unallocated. Can't explain why -- maybe somebody else can. But it shouldn't
show up with a drive letter assigned to it, since it's unallocated. Not sure
what you mean by "disabled it".
