Hello

I am running freshly installed Windows 2000, and have a
120GB primary drive (which shows up okay), I recently
added a 250GB secondary drive to he system. However can
not get the entire drive size to be recognized. I will
only show 137,427,943,424 bytes (127GB) as the capacity.
In the BIOS it gets detected correctly as a Western
Digital 250GB drive. I have also tried Partition Magic 8.0
and that does not allow me to recover the remaining
~120GB. Any ideas ..

Chris

You could have googled, or searched mskb or this group; its a common Q

Once reg fix is done, and win updated you will need to format new disk
