I've just put together a config based on the above motherboard. I've
installed a 2.6GHz P4 processor and 256MB of DDR and the POST works fine.
I have installed a MAXTOR 250Gig SATA-II drived jumpered for 150Gb/s
operation.

In the BIOS I have SATA - IDE enabled (ie no RAID). The Bios correctly
reports a 250G Maxtor during POST as drive Master 3.

When I then try to install XP from my XPSP1 CD, the drive is reported as
being 131Gb. How do UI get XP to recognise the correct size of the drive?

TIA
