You have to update the BIOS of your motherboard. Go to manufacturers website and look for support
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Windows XP wont support that big size without modifications.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Your mother board might not support drives this large. Flash your BIOS and see is that works..
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I suggest calling the manufacturer of your motherboard to see if the BIOS can handle the new hard drive capacity.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You most likely need to go into your BIOS settings and change the way the hard drive is read. If you need more help reply!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You may have to upgrade to windows 7 or 8 for your system to recognize the full amount of the drive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sounds like too old of a mother board. It can't see anything larger then 127. To use the drive and keep your existing MB, you'll need to create multiple partitions @ 127gb or whatever your limit is
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Check you bios settings XP should format to full size of drive unless something is preventing it from doing so.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is the link to the Microsoft Knowledge Base article describing the fix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303013. Be EXTREMELY CAREFUL if you've never edited your registry. I can NOT stress that enough. If you delete the wrong thing in the Windows registry, it could corrupt your whole system and require a restore from backup or a complete reinstall. That being said, if you're comfortable doing it, following the steps in their KB article should get your drive recognized. I'd do a total system backup and back the registry up separately as well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If our SATA drive is only formatting to 127 GB, this could indicate either a BIOS or operating system limitation. If running Windows XP, make sure you have the latest service pack installed, then try accessing your Windows Disk Management utility and see if this shows the full size of the drive. If so, check for any unallocated space and then partition the rest of the drive. Use this link for more assistance with Disk Management: http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/188931en Also verify that your BIOS properly recognizes the full capacity of the drive and update your BIOS if it does not.
