I have a maxtor 200GB hard drive. The problem is that it is incorrectly showing up as a 33.4 GB drive under Windows XP Pro SP1. I ran the maxtor software and it's showing 203GB. When I delete the partion and format it still showing 33.4GB after i install windows.

Some Of The Track erasing Softweres Will write On the hard drive itself making it look as if it is full or writen. in most cases you should be able to use the full capacity of the hard drive. i hop ethis helps.
