I have a MSI 845 Neo Motherboard with a Western Digital 250 Gigabytes capacity. The Bios recognize the hard disk capacity but a windows 2000 server installation can only use about 120 G. Accessing the disk manager in the Administrative tools it show no more free hard disk capacity avaible ! Any Ideias ?

you need to download an exe from the western digital site that enables windows to see the maximum avaialble. Its been ages since I done this myself but if you hit their site and search around there you will defo get an answer.
