Hard Drive Problem

[Cire353]

So I finished my build last night, and everything seemed to to be working. Till I noticed that my 750GB hard drive only shows up with a 127GB capacity. I cant seem to find anything wrong, or anything on Google, here's the hard drive I have.

The reason you're only seeing partial HDD space is because before SP1, XP could only see 127GB. Just go under drive manager and resize your partition.

Ok, I'm updating to SP3 now, Should it apear as a 750GB as soon as i reboot? Or will i still have to go into the drive manager?

Ok SP2 is installed and it doesn't appear as 750GB so I guess i do have to re size my partition.

Yes, you have to resize it manually. I only know how to do it with GParted. I think you can do it in Windows somehow.
