WinXP detects 250GB SATA as 130GB

[ugh]

Hi folks,

I just bought myself a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 and a 250GB SATA HDD. However, during XP installation, it detects the HDD as 130GB. The BIOS detects fine as 250GB.

Any ideas what's going on?


Thanks.

The problem lies with the version of your Windows XP installation disc.

You need SP2 to resolove this. If you have already in stalled XP with a lower version you need to obtain SP2 and install it. Upon completion restart the system and go to the control panel and administrative tools/computer management/disk management. Select the drive and you can now allocate the rest of the drive space.

Got it folks. I updated to SP2 and removed some odd raid driver from Gigabyte and got it working
