I've just put together a config based on the above motherboard. I've
installed a 2.6GHz P4 processor and 256MB of DDR and the POST works fine. I
have installed a brand new MAXTOR 250Gig SATA-II drived jumpered for 150Gb/s
operation.

In the BIOS I have SATA - IDE enabled (ie no RAID). The Bios correctly
reports a 250G Maxtor during POST as drive Master 3.

When I then try to install XP from my XPSP1 CD, the drive is reported as
being 131Gb. How do I get XP to recognise the correct size of the drive?

TIA

from sp1 I believe.
So slipstream using the latest sp
