    Trying to install XP on this system, and I bought a 200 GB drive for it.
    The bios recognizes the model number, but I only see 130 GB of usable space
    from the setup program and in Disk Management when it is installed.

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks!

    128 GB is the point at which the 32 bit LBA addressing system runs out of
    numbers. You either need a BIOS upgrade to update to 64 bit LBA addressing
    or contact the drive manufacturer's web site for a work around maybe.

    Bios upgrade did the trick.

    Thanks!
