| Re: XP only recognizing 130GB of 320GB Make sure XP is up-to-date. You can use Gparted to change or check the partitions. You can also use Computer Management included in XP.

| Re: XP only recognizing 130GB of 320GB xp will only see 130 if you dont have sp2. If you installed using a cd that is presp2, then it will only see the 130. use the diskmanagement after you have done all of your updates and it should see the rest of the disk.
