SATA HDD Limitation

Computer Forum Storage Devices

I have installed a SATA drive into my new rig.
It’s a 250Gb Seagate.

After the windows installation, I could only see 127Gb of it, I then installed windows service pack 2 and went to manage disks. There, I saw the “lost space” and set it up as a second partition.
Is there any way around this? I’d prefer to have a 250Gb C:\ drive rather than a 127Gb C:\ and a 112Gb(approx.) D:\

I read on Seagate’s website, but it made little sense to me.
