I have a 200gb hard drive but it only showed as a 127gb hd. I looked it up on the web and found out I had to enable 48 bit somethingorother, which I did. This still did not work. However I then decided to see if I could partition the drive and then combine the partitions.
I partitioned the drive successfully into the 127gb drive and a 58.3gb drive. Now I want to combine them so it is one 185gb drive. Is there any free way of doing so, any help would be greatly appreciated.
You're half-way there. You need a CPU that will support hard-disks bigger than 137GB ("48 bit somethingorother"), and also an operating system that will support hard-disks bigger than 137GB. The hard-disk should have come with some software that will sort things out for you.
I'm no expert, but if you tell us what OS you have installed, and what make of hard-disk you have, then someone should be able to help you.
