win2k only sees 128 G hard disk with 200G actual

The BIOS detects the drive as actual size but Windows only
sees 128G inside the disk mngmt. Already updated both
BIOS and chipset drivers. Any other suggestions?

A work around might be to partition it. That should give you two "disks", one
of 128GB, and one of , lessee now, 72GB.

You're on drugs, right Wolfy? You don't even have Win2K, do you?

Oh, I do, I do. And every time I use it I suffer for my sins. It's the
biggest PITA I've ever used. Most of the applications refuse to run as
intended. There's usually some dumb-ass glitch - for example, ACDSee won't
Save the settings I've specified, even though there's a Save Settings buttons
there plain as day. Bah!

OTOH, it does run Microsoft Train Simulator just fine. Lovely!
