RE: Re[6]: 160gb drive seen as 127gb - under windows 2k

["UKHA" <mailinglists@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I added the key manually after installing the SP, and I had the extra space
at the end of the disk, using an old copy of PM.
I'm running NTFS too...

It seems like either the reg key hasn't stuck properly or the SP isn't
installed...
How old is your motherboard/bios?

Hello,

Thanks for all your help so far.

U> Whaet told you there was only 137GB of space? PM?

Windows Explorer and PM both say 137Gb. I was hoping PM might show an
unformatted space at the end of the drive, but it doesn't.

U> Have you checked the registry entry is there and correct?

I used the program from 148lba.com because I didn't want to completely
break my pc by fouling up the registry. I used regedt32 to check and
the string has been added.

U> Did you reboot after adding the reg key?

I've rebooted a few times as I did this a couple of days ago and the
pc has been on/off since.

U> I get about 149GB of usable Windows disk space from a 160GB drive...

It is NTFS if that makes any difference?

U> HTH
