Hard Drive Issues - Not utilizing my full hard drive
by miloman33 - 11/4/09 5:05 PMMy hard drive crashed and I replaced it with a new 500G hard drive. I reloaded Windows XP and I'm using the new hard drive as my main drive. It only shows that I have 137G Total size of the drive. How do I get it see all of the 500G hard drive?

That's proper. DO NOT EXTEND THE VOLUME SIZE.

Read http://www.48bitlba.com and other places but just install SP3 and then use disk management to create another partition, format that and you're done.
