My initial installation went without a hitch, until I noticed that my 200G
drive was registering at 137G. Through some investigation I found that this
was because I installed XP, then later added the SP2. I was able to
partition and use the "unallocated portion of the drive" but would like to
consolidate the drive.
These leads me to the questions I have...
1) How can I install XP Pro on a system with a 200G system drive and get it
to reckognize the full disk size, even though I need to download the SP2?
2) Is there a way to get Windows XP with SP2 included at a reduced price
from MS if we return the copy we have?
3) If I decide to set up a RAID system, and am using three 200G drives, will
XP only reckognize them as 137G each until I install SP2?
Thank you all.
