Your Bios may only support HD up to 128/137GB natively. All above shold be accessible withing your OS if it's W2K (and newer M$ OS) or Linux.

i have just upgrated form a 80 gb using norton ghost..
so if i had understand well, if i format and install again my win2k pro sp4 i should be able to access to all of disk space?

Thanks!

Yes - should be working. The partition on your HDD you want to boot from has to be within the Bios limitations thus below 128/137 GB.
