Windows XP SP2 132g barrier

Behemoth8186 · Feb 18, 2007

I recently did a format on my hard drive just to clean all the junk off, but now Windows sees the drive as 132g instead of 250g. The BIOS recognizes it as 250g and the disk manager has 132g allocated and 104 unallocated space. How can I get Windows to see the rest of the drive? It's been about a year since I formatted and I can't remember how I did it last time. Any suggestions?

You need service pack 1 or higher.

While in Windows, put in your XP disc, make an iso of it and use nLite to slipstream SP2 + other updates onto it.
Saves you the annoyance of repartitioning and the trouble of rebooting a thousand times for the updates.

Check out

RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack 2.1.7
http://www.majorgeeks.com/RyanVMs_Wi...ack_d5085.html

This pack is designed to bring a Windows XP CD with SP2 integrated fully up to date with all of the latest hotfixes released by Microsoft since SP2's release. It accomplishes this task via direct integration, where files on the CD are directly overwritten by the updated files. This method has numerous advantages over other integration techniques:

The above, is a variation of Fleppen's solution.
I haven't tried it, so can't comment on its' worth. Bazza

Did you partition your hard drive into two or more sections?
