Have a 160G HHD. I want to make one partition, but I'm limited to 127G. Is
it possible to make a partition > then 127G? Tried EASEUS Partition Master,
Paragon Partition Manager, & Norton PartitionMagic. All limit me to 127G -
System Volume Information.

Thanks

The 127Gb limit is becaause of your BIOS - check the motherboard
manufacturer's web site to see if there as an update to the BIOS to allow
for larger hard drives.

It is usually the BIOS that limits the size of a HD partition.
It may also matter whether you want FAT32 or NTFS format.

I don't really know,
but you might simply
divide 160 in half.

that way you can
partition once and
be done with it.

also, it wouldn't be
a bad idea to change
the default for mydocs
from the partition with
the o.s. to the new one.

that way if the time
comes you have to
reformat or reinstall
the o.s.,

you will have mydocs
preserved in the new
partition.

or you can simply
copy your default
my docs to the new
partition occasionally.

the point is to expect
the unexpected
