I have scoured the net for solutions and tried everything I could find to solve my problem.
Problem - Hard drive is 127gb but should be 320gb
What I have -
Mobo - Asrock 939Dual-SATA2
cpu - amd 64 3000
harddrive - Seagate 320gb SATA ST3320620AS - 3gb/s
memory - 2gb ddr 400
Things I have tried;
1. Updated the bios on the mobo to the current 2.20
2. Used Seagates Diskwizard to load their stuff on and then run the OS setup - this resulted in XP not seeing my harddrive.
3. Had to write ZEROs to the entire drive to get it back
4. installed xp pro with sp1 and then sp2 - still only 127gb
5. installed "reg_48bit_lba.exe" - this did nothing - still only 127gb
6. I tried putting the sata files on a floppy and installing xp and then hitting F6 and installing them - this did nothing.
7. Tried the SATA2 and SATA1 slots.
8. I am now writing ZEROs to the drive ONCE AGAIN
I can not find any other helpful topics on seagate.com or asrock.com or through MS. If anyone knows what I can do other than the above please help me out as I am out of options at this point, thanks in advance. FISH
