I recently bought a Western Digital 250 gig HD, but I'm only able to
use 127 gig of it. Kind of waste if a hundred or so dollars, I'd say. I'm
just hoping I can someday soon, get it up to it's full 250. An Ultra ATA was
suggested, but I'm not very sure the mobo will be able to handle that.
As soon as I can get all of my recording projects finished on the C
(40 gig) drive, I'm going to put everything from the D (250) onto the C just
long enough to reformat the D and then install all of my programs and whatever
else I have, onto the D and then make IT the C.
