DELL SC420 server problems

[skywhr]

I got my Dell SC420 server today & installed a GeForce FX5200 PCI.

With just winXP drivers I get the resolution listed on the box (2048 X 1536 MAX) once I install the drivers from the manufacturer I only get (1024 X 768 MAX) half the listed resolution?

I also noticed that the hard drive says the capacity is 127GB which I don't quite understand I thought it was supposed to be a 160GB?

The only other problem I am having is with the USB drivers from the drivers disk. I installed it and I have to cancel half way through the install says cant find a file: usbehci.sys and it cant find the file on the drivers disk or on the XP pro disk...

Anyone know how to get the USB install to complete?
Why is my video card halfing the resolution?
Why does my drive appear to be smaller that its supposed to be?

I'm having the same problem.
Installed a 250GB hard drive but XP (no SP) only recognizes 130GB.
After I updated to SP2 on my XP, I can see the rest of the drive in unallocated space but I can't combine it into one big partition. Instead I have to create another partition for that space and assign a drive letter in order to use it. 🙁

unpatched XP will only recognize up to 137GB. Once SP1 or 2 is installed it can recognize the remaining space. Utilities such as Partition magic allow you to then expand the partition to what ever you have. I have done this on my SC420 with 160 SATA. There are some shareware or trialware apps that will do that also, but I don't know the names.

SP1 or 2 should also address the USB issue.
