i recently acquired an sun blade 100 whose only drive is an ST320011A in the
first drive slot. when i installed the os (solaris 10 6/06), it was
recognized as a 20gig drive. but when i search for information about it, i
learn that it is a 200gig drive, exactly as the seafate naming conventions
imply (the gamers use these).

how do i get more out of this drive? i can't reformat it from, itself.
i believe that 137gigs are the maximum i can expect, from what i have read.

Yes the Hardware IDE controler in trhe SB 100 is limited to 137 GB
disks.
There is no use ( and alot of problems ) trying to install anything
bigger than standard 120 GB drivers.

The Seagate ST320011A sold under Sun P/N 370-4327 is a 20.1 GB 7200 RPM IDE
drive.

Now if Seagate actually made a model with the extra '0' you have in the
Subject: line, then it would probably be in the 200 GB range. However, the
Sun Blade 100 would likely only see the 137 GB or so you mentioned.
