Default installing xp on hdd bigger than 130gb

so 130gb is the largest that xp can handle on sp1 apparently. my 250gb hd when i try to format from the windows xp disk will only format 130gb and i can't even see the 120gb. so how do i see it? i don't have a floppy so i can't boot from a disk. i don't mind partitioning the other 120gb, but i can't see it. help please.
