New upgrade, setup doesn't recognise full size

I've just bought a new set of components, including Asus P5N32-Plus SLI m/b, and Samsung Spinpoint T HD321KJ 320GB SATA -II hard drive.

In the BIOS, it recognises the drive as 320GB, however when loading up the Windows XP CD, only 131000 (approx) MB is recognised to make any partitions.

I set the Access in the BIOS to Large (from Auto) but I have the same issue.

Do I just create a 40GB partition (for example), install Windows on this, then hope that XP recognises the correct remainder? Or should I do something else?

Thanks in anticipation.
 
Hmm yes, this is an old Retail version of XP. So do I install then update to SP2 then continue the partitioning in XP when it (hopefully) recognises the full space?
