I have a brand new WD 320 Gb hard drive and when I go to install Win 7 it only shows 128 Gb. Why is this? The drive is marked as 320 Gb. I went ahead and installed Win 7 hoping I could go to Disk management and reclaim the rest of the drive space only to find none! What am I missing?
TIA

The hard drive is labeled WD3200BEVE.
I am wanting to install in a Gateway Laptop Model 405M. Do you need any more specs on the laptop? I wouldn't think it would matter. I researched problem on web and saw that there were people that saw the same problem but, I did not see a solution. I really thought that after installing the OS, I would be able to go to Disk management and reclaim the space. But, IT WASN'T THERE!
Thanks for your help.
