Default Large (250GB) drive with GA-81EXP

I can't get this to work properly. It seems to be picked up in the BIOS,
and appears in the device manager but not as a drive letter. I have WXP
with SP1 and it should work. Does anyone know if large drives are supported
by this board.
Thanks
Alan LS

Have you looked in Computer Manager under Disk Manager? The drive probably
needs formatting.

Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Computer Management - Disk
Management.

Your new drive should be there. If you need instructions on formatting the
disc, post back here and someone is bound to help.
