Solved: Hard Drive Size Reading Incorrectly.

[Kovia]

Hey there.

I just build myself a new PC a few days ago and I installed XP and everything was working well and good and I decided to upgrade to vista as I used to run it on my old pc and I have it on my laptop and i much prefer the way it works, anyway now that I have installed vista my new 500gb Western Digital hard drive is only showing as a 127gb.

However I checked the BIOS and its labled with a 500gb capacity.

I would be very greatful if anyone could help me out

Where do you see that size? What does Disk Management say about the drive?

Did you have SP2 in the XP version before you upgraded to Vista?

Thanks for the quick reply but I just fixed it before checking the forums
