Hard drive question.

I know this has probably ben asked a thousand times but I will ask it again. My situation is a little different I think.

I just got done building my computer (specs below). I have my 250 GB HD but I am only getting 127gb on my C: drive. I read somewhere that windows SP2 corrects this limit but after installing SP2 it was still only reading 127gb.

I want the rest of my hard drive space back. Do I have to create a new partition? I wouold rather put 250gb on one partition.

All of my programs are already installed. I have spent the last 2 days trying to perfect my PC only to just realize that I didnt partition my hard drive before installing everything.

Any way I can do this without losing all of my stuff? :confused:
 
Have you installed the driver? A lot of hard drives need the driver to installed for windows to see all 250gb. I'm pretty sure when I installed my new harddrive I read something about windows not recognizing more than 127gb if you don't have the drivers and service packs and what not installed.
