WD Hard Drive Size Issue
Windows XP can ONLY recognize harddrive sizes up to 137 GB unformatted UNTIL
you load SP2.

Have a Dell Dimension 8300 desktop. Just installed a Western Digital 160
gig hard drive without any problems. An issue is that the set up shows
the drive as 160 gig. However in Windows it shows it as a 126 gig.
What's with that?
After I installed it I went to "Control Panel", "Administrative Tools",
"Computer Management", "Disk Management". There it showed the drive as
126 gig. Of course I had to format it so I did.
So why is it shown as 126 and not 160?
