no, you need to create 3 partitions, windows can only do 130 gig

wrong bailey
you need at least SP1 for it to recognize a drive over a 130gb. then you will see the whole 250gb drive. heres a link that will show you how to slipstream sp1 into your current windows disc: http://www.theeldergeek.com/slipstream_01.htm create your system drive partition and format it by booting to the cd, once xp pro is installed then go to the disk management utility under admin tools in the control panel, then select the unpartitioned drive space and create a partition then format it to either fat32 or NTFS. http://www.seagate.com/support/kb/di...disk_mgmt.html
