The BIOS detects the drive as actual size but Windows only
sees 128G inside the disk mngmt. Already updated both
BIOS and chipset drivers. Any other suggestions?
 
This apply perhaps?

A work around might be to partition it. That should give you two "disks", one
of 128GB, and one of , lessee now, 72GB.

You're on drugs, right Wolfy? You don't even have Win2K, do you?

Oh, I do, I do. And every time I use it I suffer for my sins. It's the
biggest PITA I've ever used. Most of the applications refuse to run as
intended. There's usually some dumb-ass glitch - for example, ACDSee won't
Save the settings I've specified, even though there's a Save Settings buttons
there plain as day. Bah!

OTOH, it does run Microsoft Train Simulator just fine. Lovely!
