Hi,
I just bought a 200GB WD HDD but windows is only detecting it as a 131GB hdd. Is there anyway of overcomming this? I tried using partition magic to partition it into 2x 100GB partition but it also only sees it as 131GB. Any ideas?? Thanks

If you had used our search engine you would have found this old thread...it's all about 48bit LBA!

200GB Hard Drive reads as 131GB
