200G Hard Drive

Folks:


Recently bought a 200G hard drive and slapped it into an older machine.
This older machine can only recognize 36 G of the HD.

* How can I force this older machine to recognize the entire 200 G
capacity of the hard drive ?

Someone suggested that I use some sort of controller
card.

Is this true & if so explain briefly
how the controller card solves the problem?



Thanks,
Jo.
