Hi

I installed at 2nd HD 20 Gb Western Digital on my computer running XP Pro. It only recognizes 7 gig, I'm unable to use the 13 gig. Is there a fix for this.
 
Check the website of your motherboard manufacturer for a BIOS update.
 
What size does the bios think it is? If the bios sees it as 20 gig then you
need to go into Disk Management and repartition and format.
