K7N2 Delta L & 200gb hard drive?

I just bought a 200gb WD HD, but it only shows as 132gb. Will the
latest bios (v5.8) solve this, or is there something else I need to
do?

Thanks,

Chris

I'm guessing you're running Win XP ? There is a registry fix so XP can
recognize hard drives larger than 137 GB. Maxtor has a utility that will do
the change at:

Thanks. I installed SP1A & all's copacetic now, except for the fact
WinXP called the boot partition F.
