    2a. Use a 3rd party hard drive partitioning software such as PartitionMagic* or Partition Commander* and increase the partition size to the hard drive's full capacity.

    - or -

    2b. Create additional partitions to take up the full capacity of the drive (e.g. one partition setup as 128GB and one extended logical partition setup as 24GB)

Large Drive as Secondary Drive

Note: If you are using Windows* Me, Windows 98 SE, or Windows 98, please see the 48-bit LBA BIOS Support page for information on BIOS support.
