I acquired a new 250GB hard drive and properly selected the jumpers to master mode and its now the only hard drive on the system.
On the hard drive itself it says to use LBA mode and according to my motherboard manual you cant use anything but LBA mode anyways unless the hard drive is less than 504mb.
Well when I run the windows 2000 boot up disks and it shows the hard drive asking me whether I want to create a partition or not or just use what it displays withouth creating a partition it only shows 125GB, theres nothing else it displays, when I install windows and check drive C properties all that displays is 125GB naturally.
Bios seems to detect the whole thing, it shows 250,000MB as it should. My friend runs a terabyte on 2000 so Im sure I shouldnt have a problem running 250GB..
Im really out of ideas on what to do next..
