i have one sata 320 Gb hard disk, but it not fully taken in windows 2000 server, it only displays 128 GB
You must have a unpartitioned hard disk space. Can you tell me the each partitions size is.

It's not a Windows issue, it's a motherboard issue. Your board's BIOS must support 48-bit LBA to recognize HDD's over 137GB. Sometimes a BIOS update will add the support. If none is available, you either have to live with it or buy a controller card.

320 GB is mentioned in the bios, it is intel D 101 GGC motherboard. It is not partitioned hard disk. at the time of taking disk management, only display 120 GB size. OS is windows 2000 server

Did you use the Software that came with the HDD to Partition and install it. Sometimes the Software can provide a workaround for Larger HDD. Chec the MFG Web Site for solutions.
M$ Service Packs sometimes address these limitations. Get the latest for your OS
The article at the link below may provide some answers. More than you ever wanted to know about the subject.

It's there, you just have to keep reading, but you may not like the answers you get.
There is nothing to learn from someone who already agrees with you.

Windows 2000 prior to SP3 is NOT 48 bit LBA compliant. What that means is it can't work with partitions larger than 127GB.
If by chance you have SP3 or 4 installed then you may still need to add a comment in the registry. Post back with comments.
To check the SP you have Right click on My Computer and choose properties. The General tab displays that information.

So you don't have any other OS on it? And also did you install any other programs or games on the computer?

Below is the link to edit the registry. Keep in mind that once a partition has been created it will not change size unless you use a partition manager.
So after applying the registry edit you may still need to delete the primary partition and recreate it. Go to Disk Management and see if the remaining space then shows as unallocated. Partition and format that space in order to use it.
