Hey all

I just finished builing my new PC, woohoo!

I got a 150gb raptor which is much faster and quieter than anything I have ever had.

However WinXP does not recognise the whole 150gb. Waht the?

C:\ 64gb
D:\ 63.9gb

NOt sure how your maths are, but that sure as shiznit does not equal 150gb of space.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Are you running XP SP1 or later?

I found it!

There is 11.4 not being used. Storage Device management.

Thought it might have been the 137GB limit.

Don't worry. Pure XP (w/o service packs) doesn't see anything above 128GB by default - not that you're blind... After applying SP2 you can see missing space

There are zillion posts on different support boards about that.
