  • Hard drive question.

    Hi Guys



    I have a 160Gb hard drive, but XP is only seeing 127GB. How do i add the other 21Gb.

    I have Sp2 installed. I can also view the other 40Gb in computer Management, but can't work out how to add it to my drive

        If the BIOS is upto date, it should support 48-bit hard drive access. Windows however does not support this by default. Update to the latest service pack and add this key to the registry -

        To enable 48-bit LBA large-disk support in the registry:

        1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
        2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Atapi\Parameters

        3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:

        Value name: EnableBigLba
        Data type: REG_DWORD
        Value data: 0x1
        4. Quit Registry Editor.

        but im not sure if you have to format the drive again after that
