gamehead200 Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 There shouldn't be any problems with XP... Maybe your BIOS has to be updated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucketbuster Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 My BIOS did support it, but my Windows XP SP1 didn't.Only after editing the registry, I got the full 160GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
