Hey guys,
I just got my new PC and I'm installing Win XP Pro..
Here's the thing, on the XP that was installed for demo purposes, it said there was something like 180gb free after xp was installed... then I popped in my XP cd, went into the bios and changed it to boot from cd, and deleted the partition that had the demo xp on it... but now it says the max size is ~130gb.. what gives? I know its a 200gb hdd for sure hehe, any help would be appreciated! 
Thx!
Iny.

install SP1 (or SP2) to use drives bigger than 137GB. Here's the MS Knowledge Base article if you want
