Try a Bios update for your Motherboard. Make sure that Windows Update SP1
is installed.

One - does your motherboard recognize drives larger than 137Gb?

Two - if one is OK then have you installed XP SP1?

Three- if two is ok then turn on 48-bit LBA.

Might be a BIOS limitation or XP. Check to see if the Hard Drives
installation software has a special program that goes in the boot
sector to help BIOS and Windows detect the large hard drive.
