Why can I only see 127 to 137 GBytes of my 160+ GB drive?
The Windows 137GB Capacity Barrier is also known as 48-bit Logical
Block Addressing Support for ATA (IDE), Serial ATA or ATAPI disc drives. The
137GB limitation does not affect SCSI interface disc drives.
In order to properly access the full capacity of an ATA
interface hard drive larger than 137GB, your system must meet the system
requirements described below. There are three general methods of support:
1.. Operating System Solutions for Windows XP and Windows 2000
2.. Ultra ATA/133 PCI controller card for Windows XP, 2000,
Me, 98SE and NT 4.x
3.. Intel Chipset Solutions for Windows Me, 98SE and NT 4.x
(partial)
Formatting an ATA interface drive past the 137GB barrier on a
system that does not meet all requirements will result in data loss.
Always Back Up First - Whenever you make a significant change
to your system, be absolutely sure to back up your critical files. Whether
you are troubleshooting a drive, adding a new hardware or installing an
application, back up your data first. These are the kinds of events that may
need a recovery plan if aborted prematurely. Also, all required system
maintenance such as ScanDisk, Defrag, and virus scanning should be completed
on all existing disc drives before proceeding. Windows Startup or emergency
recovery diskettes should be created and on hand in case a recovery requires
their use. Seagate is not responsible for lost data.
Windows XP and Millennium users should also consider using the
System Restore capability and create a new Restore Point prior to making any
significant change to your system. For more information, please see
Microsoft article Q267951.
If you have an add-in Ultra ATA/133 PCI controller card, you can
safely install and use your drive with the PCI card on Windows XP, 2000, Me,
98SE and NT 4.0 SP4. You must follow the controller card manufacturer's
installation instructions. Questions about controller card device drivers
should be directed to the manufacturer of the card.
For OS specific solutions, please select your operating system
from the list below:
a.. Windows XP
