I have XP, SP1, and SP2 installed. I just bought a 120GB Western Digital HD.
My BIOS sees the drive as 114xxxMB, the Overlay software that came with the
drive sees the drive as 120GB, and I can partition/format the drive with
WIN95 (I only see 48GB, but that's OK) as the software that came with the
drive see's it still as 120GB.
I tried starting from a clean install but XP only sees 32GB. I tried using
the overlay program that came with the drive, no help. I tried installing XP
on a 1.5GB drive and formatting the new 120GB drive, then using this newly
formatted drive to install XP. However, it only sees 32GB still.
I have updated my BIOS about 5 months ago. Since my bios sees the full
range of the drive, I am not convinced that this is the problem. Has anyone
had any problems similar to this? If so, what did you do.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Regards,
Brad
