i have done 2 wipe passes of the hard disk using killdisk for dos on a bootable disk,
and i have applied lvm /newmbr before and after wiping the disk clean.

LVM and QTparted both still show no more than 131GB free space.

If The Blond guy and Mr. Smedley, can't get this hard drive to work properly,
i guess i am out of luck ! :-)

I have only been using OS/2 since version 2.0. I guess if i keep working at it
for another 18 years, i will probably get this OS to work properly soon enough !

Thank you all for your help and suggestions.

You are correct; my version of eCs is 1.0.
i applied the idedasd updates you suggested, but to no avail.

Thank you for your help none the less.

If you or anyone else has any further suggestions, i will try them.

i recently installed a WD 250 GB hard disk on an Asus A7V with outdated bios, that did not recognize drives greater than 137GB

i updated the bios and installed the drive on the integrated Promise ata/100  ide controller.
Now the promise bios detects 232GB for the hard drive, but LVM still shows 131 GB of free space

i installed Danis506.ADD and updated LVM to revision 14.105 from the ecs costumer download page.

i unplugged the drive rebooted, replugged the drive and rebooted to no avail.

is there a LVM command or a utility (other than DFsee) that i can use to reset the free space on this hard drive to the 232GB limit?

Thank-you  for your help.
