Just bought a whole computer setup and installed windows on it. The 750 gb HD only shows as 137gb. Upgraded to SD2 but no resolution. Any suggestions, never encountered this before....

Thanks

WD7500AAKS 750GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX
 
because u need to add the rest of the unallocated space to ur original partition
 
Yup u gotta resize it now OR sometimes I have seen on a rare occasion that the HDD controller can't see more because of chipset limitations. (I have an old Adaptec SATA controller that works like that)
 
How can I do that? I told it max when I was installing windows or at least I thought I did.

Thanks for all the help!!

unless u installed off a sp1 or greater disk then it will only see 137gb

open computer management and create a partition with the remaining space since u have upgraded to sp2
