I have XP Home edition and I just bought an 80 gig hard drive to use as a slave for my Dell. The system only reconizes 32 gigs of the drive. I just bought the computer a couple of months ago and assume that the bios can handle a drive greater than 32 gigs. I've tried running the files from the floppy that came with the drive (I don't have a floppy drive) from my desktop and from a zip disk, neither of which worked. Any ideas?
