I have a problem: the HDDguru low level format tool shows a total capacity of my 3 internal HD and my WD external HD bigger than what appears in Windows. I tried the Capacity Restore utility, but it won't even open properly. how can I solve this issue?

You can't. Windows tends to report differently (less) and not always consistent on hard drive capacity. We have a thread here somewhere that explains the reason behind it.

Maybe Djembe sees this thread and comments it for you.

cheers ...

HDD Capacity Restore is a freeware tool that allows you to restore full factory capacity of any hard drive.

What it says. I honestly don't understand what it really does or means by "full factory capacity". So let's say that you have a 320GB drive, using his toold does not mean (for me) that it would force/help Windows to see the whole 320GB, as mentioned above.

cheers ...
