hi guys,
i have a pc that im building for a friend for a mini file server running win2k server, got everything running until i put in an additional 500gb sata drive.

Windows only recognises it as 128gb instead of 500gb?

any ideas on how i fix this?

I googled it and it came up that it is a problem with the registry and something needs changed but i wanted to ask you guys first.

cheers for your help guys

sorted guys.

Just for future reference i had to do a registry edit called EnableBigLba.

Then done a restart and it worked perfect.

cheers
