Only 133 GB of 750 GB Samsung spinpoint viewable

My new system arrived today, it was pre assembled, all I had to do was install all the software. So I install XP PRo and Service Pack 2, but only 133 GB of the 750 GB spinpoint is being recognised still, is this a common problem and does anyone know if there's anythign I can do about it.

The origional version of XP that you used was pre-service pack 1 which does not support drives over 137 gig.
SP1 fixed this problem.
What you need to do is go into disk management, partition and format the rest of the drive.

Yeah it's appearing fine in disk management now. Thanks
