No, you now need to go into disk management and then create the secondary partition with the rest of the hard drive.

:thumbsup: Now you have two partitions.
You did that with either an SP1 or SP2 XP disk.Originally posted by: Cheezeit
Thats weird, I created two partisions on my 320gig hdd 40/280 and it recognized fine. Whats with the 123?

With SP2 downloaded, make a Slipstreamed install disc of XP.
Reboot and reinstall.

Windows XP didn't recognize hard drives over 100 some GB and when you clean installed it thats as much of a drive as it formats. 120-130 something. Not until after SP 1 or 2 i can't remember did it recogize the large drives. So like the one guy said you have to either pay for 3rd party software and try to stretch the partition or make a seperate one like i have. I found this out also when building a new gaming rig lol..
