hi there,just to make it quick,i just installed windows xp on my new computer and even though i have 2 maxtor 250 giga sata drives,windows recognizes half of the space of both,instead of 250 it tells me that i have 130 giga! :( why is that? anybody ran in this same problem? thanks a lot in advance!
 
I've installed XP Home w/SP2 and XP Pro w/SP1 on my 200GB hard drive, and it detected the 200GB. So maybe its a problem that only occurs with some hardrive's.
 
Need to install service pack 2! as i hasd this issue, which means you will HAVE to have a legal copy of Windows as wiont allow it to work whether you download or install from cd. Then say if drive was 160gb like i have then will appear as 150gb, though the spac is still their.
