Go into your bios and see how big your bios thinks the drive is. If your bios thinks the drive is 128GB then you probably need this : http://www.promise.com/product/subsy...p?pid=11&fid=3 . Once you get the bios seeing the full size of the drive , then use partition magic to set it up on 1 large partition and windows will have no problem seeing it.

I read something about that 137Gb limit, but that's still more than the 128 Gb I got from Win2k. I do have a Win2000 Promise Fasttrak100 TX2/TX4 controller in this computer. Just checked their site again and I think I will buy the FastTrak SX4000:
Description: FastTrak? TX2000 raises consumer-based ATA RAID to professional levels. The FastTrak TX2000 ATA RAID card supports Ultra ATA/133 drives to rock workstations and boost small (or large) office servers like never before.
FastTrak TX2000 breaks the video/sound barrier with RAID 0 striping data speeds that easily exceed that of a single Ultra ATA/133 drive. Or use RAID 1 mirroring or 0+1 to protect valuable office data...and take advantage of fast Ultra ATA/133 transfers.
