I recently installed a Deskstar 250Gb on my machine. The BIOS said it was a 250 Gb disk. However, when I attempted to partition it using the disk manager in windows 2000, it only list 136 Mb. I managed to formatted to 250 Gb after I use a copy of XP Home to format it to 250 Gb NTFS. Is there some limitation of Windows 2000 that prevent the formatting of disk over 130 Gb?

I ran into a situation where I could not get the same drive to install (format or Ghost) on an AOpen AX4SG MAX. I updated the BIOS, ETC & nada!
