I've got a 200GB hard drive on XP SP2 and it only recognises 130GB.
I've dug around on Google, but I haven't got any good answers yet (because, I suspect, I haven't asked the right question).
Anyone know of the top of their heads what I can do to get my missing 70gig?
I remember something about older boards not recognizing past 128GB without some help from various things.. like a jumper on the HD, or some setting in BIOS, I can't remember..
Search for: "windows large hard drive support" I believe there is a cap at 130ish by default on a windows. What type of HDD did you get? Seagate has a decient (free) appliation to format drives and turn on large hdd support.
If you didn't personally format this I'd run fdisk to see what partitions it has. It's true that some older mobo's won't work with large drives too. The really old ones (pre 1992 ish) only supported up to 7.9GB I think
