Hey guys,
I just built my first puter and I'm trying to install an OS. (namely Windows XP Home.
When I boot to the BIOS, the BIOS shows that I have a 250GB harddrive. That is correct.
I have a 16MB Cache WD Caviar 250GB 7200rpm Sata 300 harddrive connect to
the Sata 1 plug on my Asus A8N-E motherboard.
However, when the Windows disk partition screen comes up, it only shows 131GB as unpartitioned space (So roughly the same as a 150GB harddrive).
I tried installing Windows 2000 Pro. Same thing.
What am I doing wrong? I've never built a computer before and I assume this is a standard question. Sorry in advance.
