I have a new 200GB hard drive and when I try to install WinXp the partitionable space is only shown at around 128GB. Is there any way I can partition the entire drive?

You would need to give full description of your hardware as your post is short of very important details.

You need SP1 or greater in order for Windows to recognize the full size of hard drives greater than 137 GB. Text

Grab a copy of the network install of SP2 and slipstream it into your XP CD. Then install from the new XP + SP2 CD and see if that solves your problem (makes a new install less painful too, since there are minimal updates to install).
