Default 137 GB barrier

Question -

Does the actual system support such a large HD? During
post the system may just be displaying what it sees, but
doesn't actually support the capacity - just something to
check.


-----Original Message-----
I have installed a 200GB western digital HD with an Ultra
ATA controller card. When the system boots it recognizes
the full capacity of the HD. When I try to format the
drive in disk management, XP does not allow any more than
137 GB. I have updated both the ATA card bios and driver.
Also I have XP service pack 1. Any Ideas????
