How do I go over it? I have a 250GB hard disk, and when I try to format it, the system won't recognize it as anything more than 137GB. I heard it was a windows error of some kind? IS there some way around it, or will I have to find another OS? Thanks in advance.

I assume you're using Windows XP? This is a known issue with the original release. It's corrected in Win XP Service Pack 2. One you update, you should be able to use the full capacity of your HDD. Alternatively, you could try updating your motherboard BIOS to get it to accept the large drive.
