So i'm installing XP on my new rig, all going well, except it only seems to think my two 320GB disks are 128GB in size. it's an XP-SP1 install, anyone have any clues what could be causing this? A bios setting or some additional driver i need to load pre-windows setup?
 
Ah good call. The bios got the name right, but i didnt check for any physical size attribute. Or, i don't remember checking, in all the excitement at the thing actually booting i was somewhat elated and unfocussed.

As soon as it's done creating the 128GB partition (which i decided it might aswell do, and then i'll see what XP thinks is there when it's installed) i'll go back and check the bios. thanks!
