Have a 160G HHD. I want to make one partition, but I'm limited to 127G. Is
it possible to make a partition > then 127G? Tried EASEUS Partition Master,
Paragon Partition Manager, & Norton PartitionMagic. All limit me to 127G -
System Volume Information.

Thanks

The 127Gb limit is becaause of your BIOS - check the motherboard
manufacturer's web site to see if there as an update to the BIOS to allow
for larger hard drives.

It is usually the BIOS that limits the size of a HD partition.
It may also matter whether you want FAT32 or NTFS format.

I don't really know,
but you might simply
divide 160 in half.

that way you can
partition once and
be done with it.

also, it wouldn't be
a bad idea to change
the default for mydocs
from the partition with
the o.s. to the new one.

that way if the time
comes you have to
reformat or reinstall
the o.s.,

you will have mydocs
preserved in the new
partition.

or you can simply
copy your default
my docs to the new
partition occasionally.

the point is to expect
the unexpected

Also, which service pack level are you at?

You should be at sp2 or ideally sp3

Julie provided info in a previous post.

http://groups.google.ca/group/micro...read/thread/c8e3b18193ab0dfe/5458720ad3f77f90

MS-7309 is an MSI K9N6PGM2, which has an Nforce 6150SE
chipset. That would make it post-2003 vintage and
the BIOS should have any 48 bit LBA support necessary.

The OS on May 31st was SP3.

Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600

It's possible the Windows installer CD is not slipstreamed
up to SP3, and by using the older installer CD, that installer
restricts partition size to the 28 bit LBA limit. If the Service
Pack 3 was slipstreamed into the installer CD, it's possible the
whole disk could be used for C: by the installer.

Well that's settled then

I generally don't search the archives when responding to a post though
