I purchased one hardware having 160GB capacity.
I attached to my system and started installation for Windows 2000 server.
But it is showing the hard disk size only 131GB.
My question:
How to enable total capacity of 160GB hard disk in Windows 2000 server and in Linux and in Solaris o/s

Thanking to all
 
This is a hardware and OS limitation. Check for a BIOS update for your motherboard to enable 48-bit addressing or buy a separate ATA controller that can handle drives over 137GB.

You can enable 48-bit LBA in Windows 2000 via registry if it is not turned on during the install by default. You need SP3 or above for this.

Linux supports 48-bit addressing if you have kernel 2.4.18 or newer.
