XP SP2 on A8N SLI?

Basically what has happened is I installed XP on my new rig I just put together. Everything was going fantastic. No problems whatsoever. I could connect to the internet fine. Then I installed Service Pack 2 and now I can't get to any webpages. I uninstalled and reinstalled my nForce4 ethernet drivers. I also tried the Marvell ethernet as well. All my settings seem correct to be able to connect. My IP addressing is correct and I can connect fine with my old comp. Has anyone else had a problem with this too? Oh yeah and also when I first was installing XP I partitioned my drive, but only the 10GB partition I made just for windows is showing up? Is there any way to get the rest of my HD to show up again? Also how can I get all 300GB to appear as opposed to the 137GB limit problem. Thanks for any help.
 
How do you connect to the Internet? Maybe SP2 is blocking some ports that you need to open or something? And I thought that by installing SP2 the 137GB limit should rectify itself, you may just need to extend the partition which you could also do for the other problem you are having. Try going to you computer manager by right-clicking My Computer then Manage then go to the Disk Management section. It should show your drives and partitions there.
 
Ok well I got the whole partitioning thing fixed up and have my whole hard drive showing (who else is still tired of the marketing bull that 300000 MB = 300GB though my drive is technically 297800 or so MB). I still can't get through to the internet I have turned off my firewalls. Is it possible they are still somehow functioning to block my internet connection. Does anyone here have knowledge of how to just disable SP2 firewall altogether since I can utilize my nForce4 firewall and active armor? Also is it possible that SP2 installation corrupted the internet protocols and even though I can connect nothing can really get sent or received? Is it possible to just uninstall and reinstall this particular area of windows?
