I have a 160GB Western Digital. My motherboard can only see around 137GB(I'm running win2k). I was told that if I run WD Data Lifeguard, it will partition and format the drive so my computer will see the whole drive. Can anyone tell me if this works, is this a memory hog, or if I'm better off just using the 137GB. This is not my boot/main hard drive.

Google is your friend... WorkComp: LAPTOP, intel celeron D 2.4GHz, 256MB DDR, 20GB hd. NO SCREEN IT WAS SAWN OFF :S (bag of crap)
Don't mess about with applications just yet. Usually this is caused by not running an up to date version of XP. When XP first came out it only allowed up to 128GB drives. If you download and install service pack 2, it will permit you to use the full capacity of the disk.
I'm running window 2000 and I have service pack 4 installed. I also have the latest bios for my motherboard but I still have limited use of my hard driveis limited. Need to know if I should run this file, and will it wipe out my hard drive?
