"In order to access the full 200 GB, you'll either need to load a bios extender program that's usually bundled with the drive, or buy a PCI controller that loads its own extended bios, or a new motherboard. I also believe that this will only work on Windows XP with SP1 installed."

What size does the BIOS see as opposed to what Windows sees?
What version of Windows do you have?
What file system did you use? Fat 32, NTFS?
You may need a BIOS upgrade, you may need to use a different file system.

It relies upon on the operating equipment and the BIOS. a number of them basically comprehend a optimal of 128GB because the widely used partition. to work out the finished force (if you're utilizing XP), bypass to initiate, administration Panel, Administrative approaches, computing gadget administration, Disk administration. you have to be seeing the last difficult force as Unallocated. you may create walls out of it with the help of fantastic clicking and assigning it a force letter and the quantity of disk area you wqant to assign to each and each partition. or you may make it one partition. once the force letter is assigned, you need to format it utilizing NTFS format to take finished great thing with regard to the operating equipment. I have 3 walls. One for the operating equipment and applications. One for files information and one for downloaded software. If my operating equipment crashes, i will't lose any information or downloaded software.

Because you already have stuff on the hard drive that can't be removed so it takes up space on your hard drive.
