Large Volume Sata Drives

[Guest]

I just finished building a brand new computer on an intel 925xcv board with a
P4 3.4 Ghz Ht and 1 gig of dual channel ram. That all works fine and dandy
the problem arrises when i get windows installed on my 200 gigabyte sata
drive. It is only being recognized by windows as 125 gigabytes. i'm kinda
missin 75 gigs of stoarge space and i don't like it. If anyone knows how to
resolve this little dilema i would be very happy.
Os. Win XP Pro Sp2
note* still working with intel on the hardware side of thigs as well.

Unfortunately 186 gigs is all you will see. The rest is used in formatting
and the different ways windows and hard drive makers see the size of a
gigabyte. A hard drive maker calls a gigabyte 1000 megs. Windows sees a
gigabyte as 1024 megs.
