I bought a cicerio hard drive which maxtor 160 GB. I installed it with partition but each partition showing 31.9 GB total of 127.60 GB so i have missing 32.40 GB. 1) My bios did not detect the hard drive in first place so i use Max blast to install it. 2)Mother board is ECS 865PE-A 2.0 how do fix this problem. I dnon`t know which update i have to install. Please give full detail Thanks Ruban.

A partition of 137GB is the largest partition that you can safely use with Windows ME. So a 160GB drive has to FDISK'ed into at least two partitions. The Windows ME FISK program does not correctly show (display) partitions that large, as does several part of the System properties code. But this is just a problem displaying the sizes. If you system board BIOS did not correctly recognize a drive that big, then its BIOS does not support drives that big. There may be a BIOS update for the board.

You seem to have posted the same question in XP and ME forums. The answer I have given in the XP forum could still apply. Look here for the answer. ___________________________________________ ☺ When everything else fails, read the instructions.
