I bought a 320gb Maxtor SATA II/300 to use for data only. My first SATA experience.
I used fdisk to make 5 partitions using percentages and it shows each partition at correct capacity.
BIOS recognizes full 320gb capacity.
Windows 2000 pro service pack 4 disk management only recognizes it as 128gb.
Maxblast only recognized it as 137gb (Maxblast not used) and Belarc Advisor shows it as 137gb.
I have an Intel D945GCCR motherboard and P4 3.2Ghz processor with HT. One 80gb PATA hard drive.
I have a 160gb PATA hard drive in an external USB enclosure that I use for backup and it’s recognized complete.
If all else fails, if I use a SATA to USB converter would the 320gb be recognized complete?
Thanks to anyone who can help.
