New Drive/Partitions not viewable in My Computer

You might have to install SP1 to see all 160GB,
as windows XP sees up to 130GB without 48bit
addressing enabled.

I had a slightly different problem with my Samsung
160GB drive which I have just put up in a post.
Although I can then see all of the drive, when
SP1 is installed, the drive reverts back from
UDMA 5 mode to PIO mode. That makes things incredibly
slow.

So for the moment I am putting up with seeing only 130GB
of my 160GB drive, but with it running at UDMA 5 mode.

Hope this is of some help.

I do have SP1, and have no problem seeing that each of my
8 partitions has ~20 gb apiece, so Windows sees it all,
and shows the partitions everywhere EXCEPT where I'd like
to see them most - My Computer.

Enjoy your turkey,
Mike
