I just finished putting together a computer. Asus P5B mobo,Intel2.13,GeForce7600 and a WD 250 gig sataHD. I installed the hd unformatted and when I put a Win2000 disk in ,it recognized that i had an unformatted drive in. I opted to let Win2000 format it in that an install disk did not come with my drive. I now show on 'c' drive properties ,that my drive is
137,427,943,424 bytes in size.Whats up with that? Should I reformat? PaulO
 
You've hit the 137GB barrier, Windows 2000 and early versions of XP suffered from the fact it couldn't detect more than 137GB, there are fixes for XP available.
