I installed 200GB WD HD (slave) on my system,which have
Asus P4S533 MB,1.28GB PC2700 RAM,2.4GHz P4 CPU,80GB IBM HD
(master) and running XP Pro. windows. I also have SP1
installed from CD I bought from microsoft. My system
recodnises only 137GB on my 200GB,which they claim not
supposed to occur with XP windows running SP1. I tried to
find a patch for it but was not successful.I only got
patch Q331958,and updated Atapi.sys driver.If anybody can
point me to any patch or hot fix or driver or anything to
resolve this,it would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you
in advance!

Does your ASUS P4S533 BIOS find to complete 200GB??

Also, there is supposed to be a registry patch to enable the complete 200GB.
I found info on this on Maxtor's web sie, but I do not need it yet.
