partition portion not formatted?
during installation it already show 130gb
i create partition , remove and repeat i still cant find the extra 120gb
so in the end i create a C: at 60gb and a D: at 70gb.
format D: when i finished install windows and still cannot find the 120gb .. (SATA harddisk)
After i shut down my PC, I connect my another 250gb harddisk (IDE)
Is now known as E: but I can only find 130gb as well ..

hi,
this is likely a motherboard bios issue, it doesn't recognize hdd > 130gb. just download the latest bios from the manufacturer site and flash it. that should work. btw, does your bios read the drive as 250gb? if it doesn't, it's definitely a bios issue. try this link:

Have you updated your XP to SP2 yet ?

The EnableBigLba registry value is disabled:
If you have a 48-bit compatible BIOS that can support a hard disk that has a capacity of more than 137 GB, only the first 137 GB of the hard disk is addressable. The remainder of the hard disk is not used.
The operating system must be installed on the first partition that is smaller or equal to 137 GB when the EnableBigLba registry value is enabled but when you do not have a 48-bit LBA compatible BIOS.
If you enable the 48-bit LBA ATAPI support by editing the registry setting, but you lack both a 48-bit LBA compatible BIOS and a hard disk that has a capacity of more than 137 GB, the hard disk continues to function as a standard hard disk with an addressable limit of 137 GB.
The operating system must be installed on the first partition that is less than or equal to 137 GB and the rest of the hard disk divided into one or more remaining partitions when the EnableBigLba registry value is enabled on a computer without a 48-bit LBA compatible BIOS that has a hard disk with a capacity of more than 137 GB.
Ayia just follow wazzup instruction and use parition magic to combine the recovered new diskspace
