having a few problems with a new hard drive, its a 200gig drive but whatever i do i can't get it recognised above 131 gig??
its set up as a slave drive in a machine, the primary (20gig) drive has XP on it
disk manager won't recognise anything above 131gig, i've unplugged the primary drive & tried to format via windows XP installer & that won't recognise anything above 131 gig either
the drive is definitely a 200gig, it says so on the drive, i've checked a few times (just in case!!) its definitely a maxtor diamondmax 200gig drive
what am i doing wrong here????
any help appreciated, its a mates machine & he'll be wanting it back soon, i don't want to be telling him his spanky new 200gig hard drive is actually half the size he was expecting
/edit - BIOS recognises the full size, its just windows that doesn't.
