Where's my extra 30 gigs? 128 gig max partition size for TI 10.0?

I just successfully upgraded from a 60 gig drive to a 160 gig drive in my Fujitsu P5020D laptop. The drive is a Western Digital 5400 rpm 160 gig IDE drive. I did a restore from the old drive backup and it boots/works perfectly.

BUT... The largest partition I saw I could select was 128 gigs. Is that some max limit imposed by TI 10.0? If so, where's my other approximately 30 gigs? Anyway to partition that into another logical drive, assigned with its own letter? I didn't see a way to do so without potentially screwing up the restore on the 128 gig partition.

Thanks in advance,
-Scott

if the space is showing up as unallocated space, you can download Partition Wizard which is a free partitioning tool. You can use the download to burn an iso into a bootable Cd.
Boot from the CD and expand the size of the partition; or create an additional partition at your discretion. This can be done without loss of data but since you have a backup, you do have a safety valve in case something goes wrong. I have used this tool several times and it works very well.

Or, If the drive is being described as a wrong size drive,and no unallocated space. The tools listed in this link could apply.

Also, one never gets the full "advertised" capacity of a hard disk. This is normal. Hard disk manufacturers don't really tell anyone that fact, nor that they don't use a base of 1024, either!

This I knew. But... 128 gigs on a 160 gig drive? That's unacceptable. 155 gigs or so, I could understand...

GroverH, all TI 10.0 shows is a max 128 gig partition. I don't see the other 30 or so gigs "unallocated" anywhere like I did when I was doing a straight restore and only 60 gigs (size of old drive) was showing as the drive size. I redid the restore by selecting the C: partition first and then the MBR partition instead of checking the entire drive (number). That got me to the 128 gigs I saw before. I'd like to get the other 25, 30 or whatever, even it it's partitioned as a separate logical drive with a different letter assigned.

How does Disk Management show the allocation?

It shows it with a "healthy" 128 gig partition. No other separate unallocated partitions or anything.

When I went to device manager and hit "polulate", it said total capacity was 152.6 gigs with 21.5 gigs unallocated. I'd like to get that 21.5 gigs...

Nope, I have service pack 2. One of the first things I checked. It shouldn't be a memory addressing issue as my 1.5TB external hard drive shows up fine with the max capacity of around 1.39 TB due to the 1000/1024 binary thing.

That's a pretty old notebook. Are you sure the BIOS actually supports a drive larger than 128GB? Does the BIOS show the correct size for the drive?

Yeah, it's old, but it's still a great notebook. Does everything fine and is still pretty speedy. Even more so with the new larger and higher RPM hard drive. As for the BIOS... I tried to look, but I can't remember the password! LOL

I found this in a search. If yours is the same, it probably doesn't support it.

I have a laptop older than that that I still use. It has a 20GB hard drive (upgraded from 6GB). As long as it works...
