    I just installed a Western Digital 160 Gig into a NT 4 (workstation) with service patch 3 and formated it to NTFS, and it only shows 130 Gig!

    I know some space is lost in the format process but not 30 Gigs!!

    Any ideas??

    mistux,

    there is a problem with XP as will as NT (win2000 included) with seeing anything greater than 137 gig. If you go to WD's web site, you'll might see that they have a patch to allow the formatting of disks bigger than 137 gig.

    You also want to update the machine to Service Pack 6a and then do the post SP6 security updates.
