I have a Seagate 200GB HDD and Windows XP Pro only shows it as 127GB? When I go into the bios mode, it shows it as 200GB. I download SP1, as I was told it should of fixed it but it's the same thing.
Any help

Isn't there something you need if you have a hard drive thats over 200GB? I'm not sure what, but I heard it from someone O.o
Where does it show you it's 127GB, the drive properties?Originally posted by KazaaBoy@6 July 2004 - 15:47

If so, right-click My Computer, select Manage, click Disk Management and see what it says in there.
There isn't a bargepole long enough for me to work on [a Sony Viao] - clocker 2008
In disk management it will show the remainder of the size of the drive as unpartitioned space. You could either:
1) Use partition magic to resize the 127gb partition to the full size
or
2) create a new partition which is the rest of the size using disk management. You will then have a 127gb partition and a (200-127)*gb partition.
*-To tired to do the math.
here, it's best if you see it for your self

Or install partition magic 8 or 7, and go into it, right click the 127gb partition, and click resize, then make it the full size.
i wud use partition magic as rossco said
I did I put the space into one HDD and it worked. However, it says I have 187GB and not 200GB? Did I do something wrong?Originally posted by jaigandhi5@7 July 2004 - 01:04

nahh that's normal. Hard drive manufacturers don't meausre size right. They say that 1gb is 1000mb but in fact it is 1024mb, and that 1000kb is a mb, but it is 1024, and so on. This adds up to be quite a bit of lost space then tehre is also the space u loose (not much though) from the file system.
My 40gb shown as 37gb
lol someone shud teach em math
