How do I get Windows XP to recognize the full 160 GB's of
my hard drive?
 
For disks bigger than 127 Gig you need to have several things happen: (1)
motherboard BIOS that can handle disks > 127 Gig, (2) XP SP-1, (3) enable
48-bit LBA in XP.
 
I had to use Partition Magic to get a full 200 GB working.
