Hi,
I bought a new hard drive with 160 Gb. Bios detected the correct size but windows doesn't allow to use the parts of the drive which exceed 127Gb. I have read the following article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;303013
about How to Enable 48-bit Logical Block Addressing Support for ATAPI Disk Drives in Windows XP but I don't think it applies in my case. Has anyone got an idea?
Thanks
Steph

How about the W2K version of that KB article:

I have physically installed a new hard drive as a
secondary slave, but can not get NT to recognise it in
any way, do you know how I go about getting NT to
recognise it?

Many thanks Will
