Hi,

 

I have a mystery and problem, with the following model WD1600BUT-63DPZY0

 

I have been using it for one year, and suddenly the size of the partitions decreased (not-disappeared) and the decreased size shows up as unallocated.

 

The disk was originally formatted as

total size:160GB

c: 48.8GB

d:100GB

 

Suddenly this became

c:48.8GB

d:25.6GB

unallocated:75GB

 

I did not install or change any settings of the computer, not even updating.

 

Has anyone had the same problem input would be valuable and appreciated

 

Thanks

This drive does not have a recognizeable model number.  Are you sure that is the correct model number?

Thanks

 

We have resolved the issue,

 

IT WAS NOT A HARDWARE ISSUE.

 

I had made the disk from an image using symantec ghost, we had used the wrong omage.

The drive was partitioned with unallocated space fromt the beginning.

 

 

Deep apologies.
