Windows XP without any service packs installed can properly access
disk drives only up to 137GB in size. Run Disk Management and look at
the capacity of the disk (left side of panel showing graphical
representation of partitions on disks). If the size is not correct,
Windows XP is not set up to correctly access the disk.
