| I am trying to install WinXP (version that includes SR1A) on a 200GB disk.  The installer sees the drive as
130GB.  How do I get around this?  MS knowlege base says WinXP w/SR1A suppose to see >137G drives
automatically.
|
| I also tried the following: partition my 200GB drive into multiple smaller partitions (both primary &
extended) using PartitionMagic, then tried installing WinXP.  Installer doesn't see the smaller partitions.
As before, installer sees drive as a 130GB single-partition drive.
|
| Please help.
