Re: Windows XP Home to a new wiped clean harddrive (HELP)

The BIO's says the hard drive has 32,xxx MB on it. (32 GB). But not the
full
120 GB.
If that's the case, then I don't think windows will recognise your drive as
any bigger than what the BIOS is recognising.

I believe you need to 'flash' your bios, so that it can recognise drives
bigger than 32gb.

Visit the manufactures website for details.
