Hello all:

I recently purchased a Western Digital 160 GB hard drive. It only
shows up as 136 GB in the BIOS? It only shows 131 GB that is
formatable as expected. Am I running into a bios limit of 136GB?

Also I tried settings the format to 111000 MB, but the last zero will
not type? The only way to change from formating it all, is to use the
backspace key. It will let me create a 20 GB partition leaving 111 GB
as D: drive. I would like it to be 111GB as C: = Win 2K and the
remainder 20GB as D: drive = win98.

Thanks in advance
Richard F. Bolha
