I am posting this from work, and I have the Tech Dept. Manager walking around chewing on his fingernails. They're starting to bleed. ;) We have 30 Dell #4550 Desktops here with Windows 2000 Pro. He says they have the latest service packs all installed. This is a fact, because the service packs are imaged on to Windows 2000 Pro and we clone all the units from the one image. Problem: The client we are doing this job for spec'd 300 gig harddrives, so they all have 300 gig harddrives. Windows recognizes only 127 gigs on all of them, refuses to recognize the full 300 gigs. Oddly, the BIOS registers the drives as 300 gigs! Does anyone have a clue as to what we can do to get Win2000 Pro to recognize the full 300 gigs?

Does the cloning software you used recognize the 300gb? At the time of cloning, you should be able to specify the size partition you want.

Thanks for replying, Hank! Okay, we found it. It's a Win2000 bug; Seagate's website said to d/load a small utility called Disk Wizard, and it went into the Windows register and edited some changes and *wallah!* - 2000 saw the whole 300 gigs. Even did it with the Win2000 server.
