Win 2000 Pro and Hard Drive size

[Toddly]

I just got an 180 GB hard drive and Win 2000 only recognizes it as 131 GB. I have installed SP4 and the BIOS indicates that the drive is indeed 180 GB. I have an ABIT KT7 with the latest BIOS dated 7-11-2002. Can someone help me get the OS to recognize the full capacity of this drive.
Thanks

Your problem is solved.

Thanks Zugzwang for the reply. I pretty quickly went to this page and then did what they had instructed which was to create a new registry key. Clicked my way out and rebooted but there was no change. I am at work right now so I will have to recheck my work just in case.

Go here http://www.maxtor.com/en/suppo.../big_drive_enabler.htm and download this program "big_drive_enabler.exe" which does the same as the Microsoft page instructed, except it's as easy as clicking a file.
