With CD XP Pro raw installation, I did format hard drive
Maxtor SATA 160 GB
But when I do Check on 'My Computer', tells me thr total
capacity Is 127GB. Why I'm loosing so many GB.
Is a fix
I will appreciate a sugestion
Thank 's
 
The problem is most likely in your BIOS, it needs to support 48 bit LBA
address to use more than 127Gb per drive, you might be able to solve this
with a BIOS firmware update.

For Windows XP to recognize drives greater than 127GB:
1) BIOS must support 48-bit LBA,
2) The disk controller (either on the motherboard or separately) must
support 48-bit LBA
3) Service Pack 1 must be installed and lastly,
4) 48-bit LBA must be enabled in the registry.
