My father recently had a problem with his system not recognizing all the space on his new 160G HD. This is FYI for anyone who may be interested.

Well I finally figured out my new hard drive problem and thought it
might be of so use to you in the future. The new hard drive is a Maxtor
160 gb. When I originally installed it I partitioned it in to 4 40 gb
partitions. I had a lot of trouble with the last partition. What I
learned today is that the version of Windows ME that I have only
recognizes 137 total gb in any configuration of partitions. So the last
40 gb on the old setup wasn't recognizable.
