I have WinXP two, with a 250 gb hard drive, no matter what program i use, it will only show it as a 120gb.

Does anyone know any work arounds for this?

If you already have service pack 2 installed. Then I think you will need a bios update.

Just use partition magic to resize the partition. That's what I did, exact same thing happened to me. I am still running SP1 though...

Try this first, before you mess around with your BIOS:
