Recovering Secret HD Space

Posted by timothy on from the not-going-first-thanks dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Just browsing hardocp.com and noticed a link to this article. 'The Inquirer has posted a method of getting massive amounts of hard drive space from your current drive. Supposedly by following the steps outlined, they have gotten 150GB from an 80GB EIDE drive, 510GB from a 200GB SATA drive and so on.' Could this be true? I'm not about to try with my hard drive." Needless to say, this might be a time to avoid the bleeding edge. (See Jeff Garzik's warning in the letters page linked from the Register article.)

    If this is real which is doubtfull it is probably a marketing trick. The drive manufactures proably make one drive and sell it as 3 different drives in different capacities.

    Somehow, I have ended up being the answer guy for a small army of wandering wanna-be computer geeks who eke out a living doing basic shit for stoopid people in the backwoods of kentucky and tennessee. it just sort of happened.
    the only thing I can do now is wait for the phone calls. Because customers kids will have this AIM'd or IRC'd to them, they will do it to their parents computers, and a few of my wanna-be geeks will decide it's a great way to give a highly profitable "upgrade".
    hmm.
