Default External HD and XP

running xp pro, sp2.

have a usb 2 iomega external hd that contains a western digital 200gb
drive.. the drive only shows up as 127gb. I first thought it was a bios
int13 extension problem but cant be because i also have an internal 500gb
drive that shows up properly. lba48 is aslo enabled in the windows registry.

Connect drive and then check in DiskManagement how it is partitioned..

Start->Run diskmgmt.msc
