Hi,
I have a Toshiba Qosmio Laptop running XP SP3. It has two drive bays. I had 80gb in bay 1 and 160gb Seagate in bay 2. I can see almos 158gb on the bay 2 drive. I recently decided to change the 80gb hard drive to a 160gb. I purchased a samsung 160gb hard drive, but when I format it I can only see 127gb. I know there was problems with the atapi.sys file when on SP1. I am on SP3 and last year I formated the Seagate drive and could see 158gb. I haven't changed anything on my laptop. I have sent the drive back and they just keep refering me to all the posts about SP1 and the atapi file. I have tried explaining that I already have a drive 160gb and can see 158 of it. Can anyone help me?
