RE: Re[4]: 160gb drive seen as 127gb - under windows 2k

["UKHA" <mailinglists@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Whaet told you there was only 137GB of space? PM?
Have you checked the registry entry is there and correct?
Did you reboot after adding the reg key?

I get about 149GB of usable Windows disk space from a 160GB drive...

I have the sp4 and used the 48lba program to add the appropriate
registry entry, but I borrowed Partition Magic 8 from a friend over
the weekend and it can only see 137gb. What have I done wrong?

Thanks.
