    I am trying to install Windows 7 ultimate 64 on my Aspire 5050.It seems my bios is not supporting my 120GB hard drive that came with the 5050 for some reason.My bios version is 3315.So I tried using Western Digital Data Lifeguard Tools V.11.2 . That worked for getting the right size partition for my drive but then windows 7 would not detect the drive .If I would leave the drive as 38Gb as it was going to as default and not using the Western Digital Data Lifeguard Tools V.11.2 Windows 7 would find my drive during setup.So how do I get my full capacity of my hard drive and setup windows 7?And why is my bios not supporting the 120Gb drive?

    Thanks
