HardDrive Computer Issue

[skyxliner1]

Computer Specs:
Motherboard: Asustek 845E
OS: Windows XP

I recently purchased a 160Gig WesternDigital Calvier Hard drive to replace my 40 Gig hard drive. When I reinstalled windows, windows partitianed my drive to be 130Gig.

Problem: How can I get the full amount of the hard drive i Purchased? Basiclly my motherboard, the bios doesn't support large hard drives past 130gig.

Attempts:
I have tried intel application accelerator and it says the hard drive is at 160gig while if you check in my computer, it is still 130gig.

I have also updated my bios to the newest avaliable on the asus website.

I have installed the CD that came with the harddrive to later find out that it has no use.

I Hope someone can help me with this... Gracias

try a program called boot it, its free online, it will let you resize your partitions.

Don't bother no offence Iceman but if you upgrade your Windows XP to SP2 your problem will be solved
