400GB down to 137GB after OS repair

[Guest]

Hello out there,
I use a 60Gb harddisk as OS-disk (XP SP2) and a 400GB HD (ATA) as secondary
disk for data...
It worked fine for months. As XP had some problems (didn't one shutdown
without hanging etc.) I decided to repair the installation. Hm!!!
So I put in a bootable XP-SP2 CD, boot from it, and started to repair the
windows installation. Everything ran fine and in the end, when I restarted
the PC, the problems were gone. But: My second harddisk shows no more than
137GB. So I did a reinstall of SP2, inspected aspi.sys etc. etc.
But there is no chance.
Do you have any ideas about that?
Thks in advance, Bernd

To Rodney:
Thks for answering.
I've already entered this registry key, but without any success. The type of
the key is DWORD, isn't it??
