i had a similar problem, i bought a Maxtor 200gb ATA drive ages ago, my old one was 40gb, i plugged this one up (unplugged old one completely) and installed windows, but it only picked it up as 135gb (or so) and apparently its because my XP CD didnt have SP1 slipstreamed with it (Pre-SP1 doesn't support anything larger than 135gb or so) but i'm living with 135gb for now, tbh, by the time i personally fill this drive, it'll be time for a format, and by then i'll have SP1 slipstreamed with the XP disc so i'll get my 200gb.

try reading up on how to slipstream SP1 with the XP Pro CD (or Home if thats what you have)
