Computer crew: New HDD causing trouble
Seagate 300GB SATA
Installed XP on it, and the motherboard won't see over 128GB. So I install Partition Magic, delete the extra partition and create a new one so it's back up to 300. Next it asks me to reboot so I do. It asks me to insert the setup disc so I do. And wtf do I know... It boots from the disc and installs!
So with the new XP on, I put on Partition Magic again but now C: is being read as 128GB and that's it!
How do I get the 300 back???
:wtc:

follow that and have fun.
But you need to have SP1 installed.

I had to partition mine in portions under 100gb.
