How do I get my computor to recognize the actual size of my HD

Question

Hello....After removing a 30 gig harddrive and installing a new WD 250 gig hard drive, my computor would not recoginize the 250 gigs because I did not have Windows Service Pack 1 installed. I also put in a new 512 meg memory card at the same time. Now that I've downloaded the service pack, how can I get my computor to recognize the actual size of the new harddrive? I hope I asked this in a way that someone knows what I want. Thanks..... Message Edited by Welkin on 02-27-2004 10:29 AM

Where is the size not being recognized? Is it seen in either the BIOS or windows correctly?
