"DL",
Sorry for the confusion. Later I thought this post was more specific to
the problem. The drive I am using is an EIDE drive not SATA. After agreeing
to the license agreement "F8" the hard drive info is not displayed correctly
including no unallocated space. The correct drive size is shown in the BIOS.
Like I said in my other post that all hard drive info is listed correctly
when using the old motherboard, so I know it cannot be the setup CD. If you
or anyone can help it would be most appreciated.
Thanks, Bob

It confuses the issue by starting a new post.
This version is only an abreviated version of your other
1) Is your new drive seen in the bios?
2) Is it a sata drive that you need to use the F6 option early in the
repair/setup of winxp to install sata/raid drivers from floppy?
The latter Q was asked in your origonal post, but you did not reply

"DL",
Yes this true but I tried to be a little more specific and clear
this time. The problem also is it doesn't show any unallocated space.

Windows XP setup does not show correct partition sizes or unallocated
space. I have multiple partitions and I am trying to repair an XP Pro
installation. All setup shows is one partition that is labeled
"Unknown"
and
is 131072mb in size. The total drive size is 500gb. Why doesn't setup
see
the
correct drive or partition sizes?
