| 798008 | 2009-08-04 08:04:00 | Hi, I'm just building myself a new computer - Intel E5300 Gigabyte G31M-ES2L 4GB RAM 9800GT WD 500GB SATA II I've just gone to install Windows XP Pro, and when it gets to the part about partitioning the Disk, it tells me that it is only 131GB???? Yet when I look at the disk in the CMOS setup it recognises it as 500GB. Can anyone tell me what might be the reason for this. Thanks |

| 798009 | 2009-08-04 08:17:00 | Install SP1 +, after you install windows. Or slipstream a SP first then install windows | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 798010 | 2009-08-04 09:08:00 | Yep. Do what Speedy Said. To slipstream a SP use Nlite Or-just install the SP's after you've installed XP, then expand the partition with something such as Easeus Partition manager or Gparted Blam |

| 798012 | 2009-08-04 22:59:00 | Ahhh, I think I get it, my (6yr+ old) version of Windows won't recognise the size of the disk. I've installed Windows and hope I can expand my second partition when the SP's are all installed. Thanks for the advice guys :-) | katiponz (15146) | ||
