I have installed a 250 GB Seagate Pata Hard drive (recognized as only 127GB) on a 5 yr old Dell Dimension 4400. I was able to copy all 37 GB of data, including Windows 2000 Pro with service pack 4, to the new hard drive with Seagate's Disc wizard, but it would not allow me to partition the 250GB drive before imaging the old drive onto the new, and it now recognizes only the 127 GB. However, I can use both drives. I can access all of the data and believe that all of the first drive's data was copied. I then enabled large LBA but still do not see 250 GB. Can any one make a suggestion?

Thanks,
Tom (sukki234)
