200 Gigabyte Harddrive help needed
Okay, So I got my soyo motherboard working and now the problem I have now is the Western Digital 200 GIG harddrive. I just installed SP1 and I should be getting about 178 gigs now, but the thing is I still only have 127 gigs. Anyone know how I can change something in order to get the full capacity of my harddrive?

i just used the pci card that came with my drives when i got em. but it sounds like u should be able to use partition magic to fix it. theres probably a way in windows to do it too.

Hmm...Partition Magic sounds good. Luckily I have that program. I'll try it out later and see how everything goes. and of course...if I run into any problems you can expect me to be back.
