Comment:
My system will not recognize my 200 GB hard drives (I have 2) The Disk Manager shows them as 186.31 GB with only 128.0 allocated the rest is unallocated. I have updated my system bios with no change. I read on the microsoft website about the problem but can't figure out how to fix my system. HELP!!!
