Default HDD...

I just got a new system with NO OS on it.

I did this as I have Windows XP Pro (Which I love), and the only thing being
offered was a Vista product (which I do not so much love). MY last computer
fried itself in a storm, so I am going to use my old CD to load WinXP.

Anyway... It is an Athlon Phenom Quad Core with 4GB of ram... so it is a
decent machine to get as an early Father's day present from the kids.

I tried to load my Win XP Pro disc, and of-course it only saw the 132GB Hard
drive space while mine is 500GB. Obviously I can go online and get SP2...
but is there any way that I can now go back (with SP2) and have the windows
XP load see the entire HD?

IF not; is there a way that someone can think of to make it see the entire
drive (assuming I have a Windows XP Pro 64 disc and the SP2 on a jump drive
(Maybe?)?
Of course Windows XP Pro at this point does not see all the RAM either, but
I figure if I can find a way to do one thing the other will probably occur at
the same time.


I sure hope I do not have to go buy yet another copy of XP (so that I get
SP2 with the CD) Just to use the software I already purchased.


Thank You for any help.
