I want more storage space and am finding some 120-200g hard drives fairly
inexpensively.
Those video files eat up space and I would want to store them on a 2nd HD.

Will my AK32VN motherboard be able to use a 200g hard drive without losing
any space?
TIA,
dave

my system:
AK32VN v3.1 (set J2 jumper so CPU reads 2400+)
AMD XP 2400 with cooler fan
1 x 256 Centon ddr 266MHz PC2100
1 x 256 Kingston ddr 266MHz PC2100
Antec case (new Antec True Power 430 Watt Power Supply)
NEW WD 40 gig Hard Drive
Diamond Stealth 540III AGP 32MB
AVerDVD EZMaker Video Capture Card
XP Home

I am no expert but I did have a similar situation...
It's usually the OS and it's partitioning and formatting applications
that
take issue with the size of hard disks. I got a shuttle last year
with a
200 GB drive and found out that regular XP did not recognize anything
beyond something like 130GB. I was able to burn media with XP and
Service Pack 1 as an install CD rom (You are allowed to download the
..iso for free from MS .NET if you have a valid XP license.) and it
recognized all the space.

Hope this helps.
