Re: my history!! sad
usually the hard drives will come with software that edit the registry settings (iirc) that will make the OS detect the entire HD. And what you are saying is not clear because the limit for old windows to detect large drives was 137 GB. So that 120 GB HD should be NO PROB to detect.
what brand is the motherboard ?
Re: my history!! sad
