200GB WD Hard Drive Question

[J]

I just tried to replace my slave 120 Gig drive with a new 200Gig WD drive.
But, My Win XP won't recognize anything over 137 GB and says I will lose
data. I have installed SP1 and all the updates. It is an Intel 845D
motherboard. Damn, I must be missing something...
Any ideas??
Thanks,
J.

Do you have the latest BIOS update?

Your motherboard's BIOS may be limiting you. You didn't say which
motherboard or BIOS version you are using.

There is a very minor change needed to the registry.

Just go to WD's web site and search for the patch. I don't remember the name
for it, but WD has a simple file to run that will make the change in the
reg. for you.

It's very simple.
