You need to install WinXP SP1a to get 48bit LBA in WinXP.

I have all the updates hotfixes and service packs

If you did and you are running WinXP, why did you ask this in a Win2K News Group when the
answer is OS Specific ?

Go to the following URL and examine the part about the Registry information:

before you fdisked and formatted the drive presumably

 

[buck]

yes .. I had all the updates before I formattied the drive
it still sees only 111 gb on a 200 gb drive

 

[buck]

I have 4 200 gb drives...1 in a 2000 machine and one in a xp machine.. the
other 2 are on my desk until I get something to see 200 gb

Assuming yr bios recognises the disk size?
Does yr registry have an 'EnableBigLba' entry?
If not add it, as per kb303013
I see you have a Win2K sys, working on that ok?
