Bought 400GB Hard Drive...Computer Only Showing 130?

[Kuberr]

With the help of many of you guys, I bought the parts for a new computer, and everything is in working order. Unfortunetely, the only problem that I can relaly see is that my HDD, which is supposed to be 400GB, is only 130GB. Do I have to install RAID or do something in BIOS or did I simply get cheated by NewEgg? By the way, it's this product:

Erm. If this is true maybe its a fault HD. I'd call newegg and tell them about if its not RAID, or somthing in the bios. tell them you either want a replacement or a refund you got 30 days on the refund 90 on the replacement from the time of the purchase.

If you don't have SP2 install it.

SP1 is required in xp to recognize more than 137 gb on a HD.

Yea, you need SP2 to recognize a HD that is that large.

 

[per]

SP2 is NOT REQUIRED!! Only SP1.

 

[Starr]

Really, I thought it was SP2.....

Sigh!!

Hmm, I upgraded to Service Pack I and it's the same thing. It's still jsut about 130GB. What could be wrong?

EDIT: Ah, figured it out. I need to use DiscWizard from Seagate. Let's just hope this works.
