I know I should partitioned it or something else to be able to use all the space, but had to backup data right away before I could research and see how to do it. What you needed to do is create the following registry key: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\atapi\Parameters] "EnableBigLba"=dword:00000001 > Anyway, now My Computer shows total size 127GB and 2GB available. Yes, 127GB is the limit without the above key. > My question is.... what can I do to access the rest of that drive? Or is backing it up to another drive and reformatting the quickest way? Safest is to: 1) Backup data elsewhere 2) Verify backup by comparing with the original 3) Create above registry key and reboot. You should then be able to repartition the drive to use its full extent, and then restore the data. -- ======================================================== Please always reply to ng as the email in this post's header does not exist.
