Is there any way to make Windows XP SP1 detects HD over 137GB ? :wacko:
Because my new 200GB HD don't get entirly recognized by Windows XP SP1. :unsure:
Thanks in advance :)

There shouldn't be any problems with XP... Maybe your BIOS has to be updated! ;)

My BIOS did support it, but my Windows XP SP1 didn't.
Only after editing the registry, I got the full 160GB.
