got a new hd. 160gig. my pc will only recognize 137 though. It tells me i need sp1 to get the full 160. I have an illegal copy of wind. xp prof so i cant dl the sp from the website. Anyone got any ways to get arround this pesky little problem?

i think it is your bios, it is to old to see the 160, someone back up on meCode:1:Pred_FNM <ER>> guys, yellow + green is really shitty for forumcolours :p 1:lnx> what's wrong with that combination 1:lnx> I wear yellow-green clothes :( 1:Pred_FNM <ER>> i dont mean in clothes, in forums.. 1:lnx> kk 1:lnx> buy a black-white computer monitor if you don't like the colors foo

i got this prog with the hd, max blaster 3, it makes the new partitions on the drive. it tells me that one of the requirements is win xp service pack 1.
anyway, i dont think its my bios. I have a pretty new motherboard: Epox from NVIDIA, with nforce2 chipset.
i still dont know how to fix it. im getting tempted to give up on those 23gigs!

You want WinXP service pack 2 anyway, splurge on the educational license of XP. Hell, go with home if you have to.Originally posted by warportali got this prog with the hd, max blaster 3, it makes the new partitions on the drive. it tells me that one of the requirements is win xp service pack 1.

That's just not true.Originally posted by Due
Those games will run after installing SP2. The "problem" is the built in firewall, which in most cases simply denies internet access to the program until you "green list" it. Some games use data pages that the firewall blocks automatically, but work-arounds are available for that as well. It's just a matter of configuring your system correctly.
SP2 increases the security of the system significantly. In some cases this means you have to manually configure settings you didn't have to worry about before. It's a simple trade off: security vs. usability.Last edited by Fallen Angel; 09-21-2004, 04:06 PM.There's no place like 127.0.0.1Comment

Ontopic:
The problem is not the BIOS, but indeed the lack of SP1's added support for large HD's. Windows XP without SP1 is limited to a 137.4 GB partition size.
There's an article about this issue in the MS knowledge base if you want additional information.Last edited by Fallen Angel; 09-21-2004, 04:05 PM.There's no place like 127.0.0.1Comment

They didn't lie, because the programs just don't run by default.
However, they neglected to mention that you can get those same programs running again, if you spend some time in the brand spanking new Security Center
