Hi All,

I just replaced 80GB hard drive with 320GB Hard drive in A100 model Toshiba.
The system only recognize upto 130GB. I have updated the latest BIOS, but problems still the same?

The New Hard drive is Western Digital WD320BEVT..

Any suggestions?

Thanks..

Do you have at least XP SP1 installed? Without at least SP1, XP can only read the first 130GB of the drive.
