hey guys,
Hope there is someone who is able to help me.

i have a k7vat Lucky Star mobo.
BIOS is award modular v6.00PGN

i need to update it because it sees only 136 GB out of 320 GB of my new hard disk!!

i have xp pro sp2 and it sees the full 320 GBs (in disk management), but when i boot my pc in the bios screen it shows: 136 GB
"you could say where is the problem?? your xp sees it all..."
yes but when i try to create a new partition (whatever type), i cant access it.
so 90% it's bios limitation.

please help me.
i cant find the site of lucky star...
 
that wouldnt be a mobo problem.. that is a windows problem.. try updating windows.. i forgot the proper procedure.. lemme grab that for you

is your windows xp updated to sp2? that should fix the problem.. if not.. then it is a bios fault.. lemme help look for new bios' for ya

bios update may not do it.. you may need some kinda ata controller of some sort from what i've read on another forum w/ a similar problem
