may be an older machine?

Flint,

Your machine may have an older BIOS that doesn't recognize 48-bit LBA mode and is capped at 128GB.

You can sliptstream your XP install and try that. If it still does not recognize your HD as the proper size, its a BIOS issue.

Just bringing this machine up for the first time and I guesss this is an old XP disc.

Load SP3 and then run a partition utility?
