Hi Guys.
I haven't had a Windows XP question in a lot of years.
My friend Paul asked my to come over and upgrade his Dell computer to 2 Gigs of ram.
I did that and it booted and worked fine, but I noticed that only half of his hard drive was available.

I'm heavily working on WMI and found about the free WMIDiag tool (that I had to modify a bit to accept Windows 7)
Is this a right place to discuss such tool use, please?

Thanks
