MAXTOR 6Y200P0 Hard Drive

I can't get Vista to recognise the HD has 200gbs on board, it's showing 127.
I had this prob with XP, but the Maxtor Big Disk Enabler patch sorted that
out. But it won't on Vista any ideas?

NTFS?
tried messing around in Computer Management->Disk Management?
maybe partition magic can help you.

Sounds like you have a BIOS limitation that doesn't support 48-bit LBA. Or
turned off in the BIOS.

Intel's IAA would solve the problem, but don't know if it is supported in
Vista.
