XP does not recognise all space on new hard-drive

Posted: 12-25-2003, 12:03 AM
Hello,

I've just installed 200 GB Hitachi Deskstar as a slave
drive to my computer's current 60 GB hard drive. However,
when I try to set up the drive, XP tells me that it is a 32
GB hard disk.

Please could someone let me know how to persuade XP that
this disk is much bigger than it lets on?

First it will only be recognized as 32gb if you format in FAT32, you've
gotta go with NTFS.

Then, provided your mother board supports 48bit drives AND you have SP1
installed...

See the following KB article
