Bios immediately recognizes 250gig hd.
Bios has also been upgraded to most current, just to be
safe.
WinXP Pro CD/Setup only recognizes it as 130meg.
WinXP Pro CD is not SP1. SP1 must be DL'd after
installation. Installation works and system is rebuilt
fine. Error only occurs after rebooting system after DL
of SP1 or any other DL, patches from Compaq, etc, i.e. NOT
specific to SP1 reload.
Could I possibly build this as 130meg HD and then after
SP1 have partition expanded to full HD?
