Installing a 1 TB internal Hard Drive on OS Windows 2000 Professional
I trying to add another Hard Drive to my HP Compaq dc5100 computer. When I install the 1 TB hard drive Windows only recognizes 128GB. How do I get the entire 1 TB drive to be fully recognized?

I have windows 2000 SP4. I added the value to my registry, did a restart and it still shows 127GB for the 1 TB drive.

... I assume you know this, but just in case: To get to Disk Management, just right-click on My Computer; select Manage; and then click on Disk Management in the list on the left side (under Storage). You should then see your disk on the right side -- just right-click on the 128GB partition and select Delete; then right-click in the unallocated space for the drive and create a new partition that uses the entire drive.

That did it. Thank you both for your help with my problem.
