I just bought a 200 GB HD from Office Depot,
but Windows XP says it's only 131GB.

What's up with that?
 
Sorry sent info.questions by accident to your email.

What does Windows Disk Manager show the drive size as?
Also does your PC BIOS support 48bit LBA drives. What does the BIOS it show
the drive size as?
You may want to check the manufacture's download site for BIOS updates
related to Large Drives,
You also should be using XP SP1 or later.

Probably an old controller that can't recognize big drives.
