I have a WD 200GB HDD I installed into my system. It is
using the controller shipped with the drive (a half-card
Promise), which has a BIOS supporting 200GB. During boot,
the controller detects the drive at 200GB. (Well, 186 GB
actually, once you do the 1024 to 1000 conversion!)

I have WinXP with SP1 installed on my system. Also
installed is the newest atapi.sys from MS KB823980
article. In Control Panel/ Admin Tools/ Computer
Mangement/ Storage, it only shows the disk as 128GB. Why?
How can I correct?

Thanks in advance,

Total is unpartitioned. Disk Management reports it as
Disk 3, Basic, 128.00GB, Online, then 128.00GB
Unallocated. Although under Properties, it reports
Partition Style as Master Boot Record (MBR).

How can I unpartition and repartition in WinXP if
necessary?
