How do I get windows 2000 PRO to accept this large of a
hard drive? It is only showing 127 GB as the size of hard
drive.

Firstly, your BIOS needs to support drive sizes over about 128GB. Check
your BIOS version on the motherboard web-site.
Secondly, you must make sure you have installed the Large LBA fix from
Microsoft - you can find it on their support web-site.
It will depend on what you motherboard is and how the drive is attached
after that. Post you details here if you want further help.
