Hello. I have bought new WD Caviar 320 GB hard drive. I have plugged the drive inside and what happened on the first step of windows installation, the drive was recognized with only 127 GB of space. There is only 200 GB missing. I pulled out the drive and saw that 320 GB stands written on the drive. I dont know where is the trick. Does somebody else does? Thanks on every suggestion.

Hello. The trick is in three different things. First, go and update your motherboard BIOS to the most newer version. Second, check your IDE/ATA cable. It must be ATA 133 compatible, and the third trick is to have SP2 installed in order to see large amount of space on your drive. I hope this was helpful.
