XP Installation

[Jim]

Hi
I just installed XP on a new 250Gb HD. It did the whole thing automatically
but formatted it to NTFS, not giving any choice of FAT or FAT32?
Also it only sees the HD as a 150Gb not 250Gb.
I appreciate that NTFS is a better system but how do I get it to recognise
the whole of the HD?
Appreciate any helpful advise.

Thanks

Jim

Jim now that you have installed xp you will need to get partition magic
to see the rest of the drive. Jim check this out for large drives.

Thanks Bill13,
I visited the site and got some useful information.
I had intended reformatting with fdisk and selecting LBA but thanks to your
advise I need only get hold of Partition Magic to see the whole drive.
Much appreciated. Thanks again.

Regards

Jim
