I have a 300 GB hard drive I want to add to a Compaq Presario 3800. When I open up the computer, there seem to be wires for additional hard drives. Wanting to see if the drive would even be accessible, I plugged it into my external drive... The computer recognized it. However, it only recognized the drive as being 128 GB rather than the full 300. Why? I vaguely remember being told I would have to purchase some sort of card to allow full capacity recognition of the drive. If true, what card do I need to fit my computer?
Also, what wires, etc. do I need to purchase in order to install the drive into the computer internally?
Computer: Compaq Presario 3800, SR5110NX
