127GB problem

[pOwErEd By NOS]

So I have a new computer with a serial 400gb hard drive and when I try to install Windows it only shows like 127GB. Do I have to change anything in my BIOS or install any drivers before I install windows?

You could have done a quick forum search for your answer.


You need SP2 slipstreamed into the install CD use www.google.com to find nlite to do it.

Yes, you need Service Pack 2

or sp1 actually, and you need to see how old your bios is to see if it needs to be upgraded to support large drives.

If you have sata, you have a newer board....

You need Sp1 to see drives over 127GB in an already installed system. If you want to clean install to a larger drive you need SP2.

i have the same problem. my bios sees the full drive though. i have service pack 2 up and running though and it still doesnt see all of it. do i need to install service pack 1 as well.
