Xp only sees them as 127.99gb drives. Are there any
patches or updates that need to be done?

Install XP SP1 and you will be able to partition the rest.

.it's most likely that your motherboard cannot see
anything larger than - well, mine won't detect past 137GB
without some sort of reconfiguring... consult your
motherboard's manual. (Hope you have one; mie's not very
well written, which is typical.)
 
You need three things to see/use the whole drive:

1. Motherboard that can handle big drives (or possibly a BIOS patch).
Alternatively, use a PCI adapter card with its own BIOS, but be sure that it
can handle 250Gig. That is getting rather large.

2. SP-1 for XP

3. Enable 48bit LBA in XP (after SP-1)
