maximizing 160gb hdd

[lipam]

---

I have a 160 gb seagate hard disk drive, my pc will only read 137gb, how will i fix it to use the the maximum space....am using winxp sp2.....

[darkdevil]

is this one partition only?

[lipam]

i do have a hard time partitioning the drive so i decided for a single partition only.....but it reads 137gb instead of 160gb for a single partition....

@lipam: Unsay gigamit nimo pang-partition? Is this a new drive or naa nay sulod daan?

i have tried fdisk, but to no avail....gamit pod ko sa xp mao ra ghapn.....disc wizard of seagate...137 ra jud....ako mobo is asus p4c800-E deluxe...sa bios setup sakto iya size pero ig format 137 ra....

tan awa daw imo jumper setting sa imo hdd bai..
basin naka limit na siya...himua lang na og master...

@lipam: Na try na nimo bai ang katong uban nga 3rd party partitioning programs like Partition Magic?

To support drives over 137 GBytes, your computer and operating system must support 48-bit logical block addressing (LBA).

Also take note that dli gyud na ma detect as a full 160GB, it should be around 140+GB nig detect ana pero its a full 160gb..
my 250gb is detected as 230+ raman gali
