Look for a BIOS upgrade for your motherboard. If none is available which
supports larger disks, you can either use a device driver such as Disk Manager
to mount the drive (you can probably get it from the manufacturer of the
drive) or buy an add-on drive controller board which supports larger drives.

Hello,

I also have the same problem and I have installed service packs 2, 3 and
also 4 but still with no luck. In the disc management screen I still see the
200 Ghz disc as 127Ghz.

Is it a bios or windows issue?

BIOS.

I think you did also need the service packs (at least SP3).

BIOS issue is 127GB, Windows issue is 137GB

They're actually both the same size but one is really in billions of bytes
instead of GB.
