Hi all,
I have a 200gig SATA hard drive and I know windows XP has its issues with such large drives, but at the time (a few months back), it was a new formated NTSF 200g (and partitioned closest to that amount, prob 180g, ouch) and the system basically carked it and gave me a nice corrupted drive. So recently, I used the program 'killdisk' to fix it up like brand new again. BIOS reads it as 200g, all's well and good there untill it reaches windows xp which now only reads as unallocated (becuase not formatted) 128Gig. I realise it was a mistake to have such a large partition, and the only solution I've heard of is to Upgrade to Service pack 2 which i've done and it doesn't seem to make any difference. If anyone knows of anything, i'de love to hear from you.
Cheers
Jason
