133 windows barrier?

I have a 200gig UIDE HD, in my bios which I installed acording to the Western Digital instructions it says its a 186gig or 200 gig, but in windows it still says it's 133gig. I heard about this limit and whats the fastest way to get around it so I can free up those 60odd gigs?

Install SP1 if your running XP. Use a PCI ATA card if you're not.

Drive size

Look i had the same problem with the hard drive size and i didant have service pack one.
I got partion magic and resized the partion and clicked on update and the drive showed up in windows at 153 meg.
Windows limits drive size but partion magic is all you need.
