    brokerall Welcome to the board :)

    Would you mind telling us what you've tried so far and the size of the new HD? Does your CMOS see the drive?

    Did Markp62's links get you going? If not, could you supply answers to his and LDTate's questions in the above posts?

    Would this happen to be an older computer? If so, your computer's BIOS may only recognize hard drives up to 8 gb.
    Do you know who made the motherboard?

    Did your hard drive come with a CD? On this CD there are some utilities available on it. One of them will do a Drive Overlay, in which you would get the full capacity of the drive in Windows, while the BIOS only sees 8 gb.
    Who is the drive's manufacturer?
    If you do not have the CD, perhaps we could find the utilities on the net.
