Hi everyone
New to the forum. I realize that XP sp1/BIOS update needs to be installed in order to open up full capacity. The machine when purchased was at 320 gb however I wanted to wipe it clean and re-partition. I was unaware of the 130gb limitation in older XP CDs (which mine is)
There is a utility at WD's site that allows you to boot to a floppy disk in order to partition as you wish.

Click on Data Lifeguard Tools for DOS in box on right.
My system does not have floppy nor does it look like there is anywhere on the mb for a floppy cable to be snapped in so can't boot to floppy.
Is there anyway to get this utility bootable via CD instead of floppy? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
