Patriot or partition?

[Dragon]

I just bought a new WD 160GB HD and installed it, but I
can't seem to make partitions. How do I partition my
drive so I have two 80GB partitions?

You may need to flash your BIOS so it can see the entire 160 GB.

Flashing the BIOS will not help unless the motherboard has a 48bit IDE
controller. Without this, it will not be able to address any more than
about 128gb. If you don't have one on board, you can get an PCI IDE
controller which will work...
