Maybe you need to enable 48-bit adressing for ATA drives
So... REGEDIT:

(if Win XP)

Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

_____SYSTEM

__________CURRENT-CONTROLSET

_______________SERVICES

____________________ATAPI

_________________________PARAMETERS

Create value EnableBigLba (it should be REG_DWORD) and give it value 1

tried that - didn't work, but it looks like this is the issue, I'll google EnableBigLba and see what else I find out

thanks

No problem :)

btw. you might need to restart your comp after the changes to make it work ... I forgot to add it.

The way Vista is set up, the system comes PRE partitioned. So you lose to the Boot up sector and also to err.. something else. Dont remember..

I Think.

What OS are you using. XP before SP1 could only see 128Gs.

Is it formatted 500Gigs.
