Hi I purchased a 180gb hd and windows displays it as a 150 only, I know that
there is a way to get the computer to recoginize the other 30 gigs. I forgot
how though. Please point me in the right direction
I am running windows xp home

I do not know about a 150Gb limit. There is a limit at 137Gb as well as number
of lower limits. See
http://www.dewassoc.com/kbase/hard_d...e_barriers.htm for
limits and workarounds.

Regards,
Bob Headrick
