Aight, i admit it, up until now its been all IDE for me. But finally I have picked up an SATA drive, trouble is, Windows sees it as a 127GB not the 320GB that it is. Is there a particular driver I need before I attempt to install windows on the drive? If so, how can that driver be used in a system with no floppy drive? thx!

FULL Specs: HERE

Edit- This is the exact drive I have HERE

 
You need XP Service Pack 1a or 2 for large drive support. Slipstream SP2 and the XP installer should see the correct size of your drive. I suggest using nLite to prep your XP install...

Hope this helps...
 
Just make your primary partition less than 127gb and you can continue with the install of XP. Then after XP is installed and you apply SP2, you will be able to see and partition all of the remaining hard drive space up to 320gb.
