i just finished building my new computer and im having a problem with my seagate sata hdd. bios detects it as being a 200 gb drive but windows says theres only 127 gb available. i've already downloaded sp2 and all other updates i think and it still says theres only 127 gb. i tried doing a search but nothing came up.
 
did you have sp2 installed b4 installing the OS (i.e. was it slipstreamed onto the disk, or did you install it after installing windows)?

ok, i did it and it's fixed. as you can see i'm kind of new with sata (i haven't upgraded my pc in a long time) and when i didn't see the rest of the hdd under "my computer" i thought it still wasn't being detected. thanks everyone.
