My hard drive crashed and I had to purchase a new hard drive. I bought a
500G drive, but after loading XP it only show 130G. How do I get XP to see
the full 500G?
The easiest way is to install all of the XP service packs, then use Disk
Management to create a partition from the unallocated space and then format
it NTFS. You'll have a second partition D:
If you want all one partition, the easiest way would be to reformat the
drive NTFS using the formatting tools supplied by the maker of the hard drive
and install XP again without using the XP disk to delete the partition; just
install it on the partition the drive tools created. When you install the
Service Packs, XP will recognize the whole drive.
