I'm pretty sure that this is my motherboard:

How can I find out if it can handle a large hard drive
(bigger than 120 gigabytes) using Windows XP?

Very unlikely indeed to not support drives that big.
 
email them..they have been responsive to email questions.

And i believe you need xp SP1 for large drive support.

I just got a response. The motherboard only supports
drives up to 137 gigabytes. Disappointing because
I had my eyes on a 160 for a nice price. :-(

So get a PCI controller card that *will* handle
greater than 137GB hard drives.
