New hard drive won’t recognize total capacity

by dsenseman . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

I am trying to install a new SATA hard drive in my Windows XP laptop. I purchased a 320 GB Hitachi drive to replace a 100 GB hard drive. I had some trouble with the cloning process and reformatted the new drive. Now the drive only shows 97 GB. I have reformatted the drive again with the same result.

What steps do I need to take to get the full capacity of the drive to be recognized.
