Had a few irritating issues with a system (including the famous 'HAL.ddl bad or missing' fiasco etc)
Decided that a complete reinstall - with low level reformat was the best way forwards
The problem is that, in the BIOS, the system sees a 250GB Samsung drive - but booting from a Windows XP CD to do a complete reinstall only sees half that space
I have deleted the partitions etc - no joy

I kept 6 trusted serving men, they taught me all I knew.
There names were what and where and why and how and when and who.
(I also had the HEXUS forums on speed dial just in case)
Is it seeing exactly half?

jumpers could maybe be set wrongly? though i assume you're using sata
Problem solved - thanks for the replies !
Uber-Guru Kerrison spotted the problem
It APPEARED to be half - but was in fact 127....
"You using a really old Windows XP disk ?" asked Steve
Seems the early ones did not understand that a disk could be be larger than 128GB
Searched further - found 'modern XP disk' from only 3 years ago - installed perfectly - issues solved - now happily installing SP3 and .net 3.5
All cool now - except me cheeks...
