I purchases a new 200GB hard drive and I was reinstalling Windows XP Pro.
Windows would only recognize 131GB of hard drive. I have a very old edition
of XP Pro. Are there drivers I need to download before the installation. I
can't seem to find any.

Thanx

If you install SP 1 you should be good to go.

On a personal note, I thought I was out of luck with my older BIOS
that didn't support this, but my Ultra 100 TX2 controller card does,
and I now have full use of my 160 GB hard drive.

Good luck,
Jeff
