I have a 200 GB hard drive but when I go to my C drive properties it
says I only have a capacity of 131 GB.

I installed XP myself onto my new PC. Is it the way I installed it or
is there something wrong with the PC????


Thanks

Hya Danny, welcome to PCHF.


First, please don't double post..

Second, have you updated windows and got sp2 (or sp1) installed? If not, then that will probebly be the problem. Windows XP needs sp1 or sp2 to be able to see bigger sized HD's.

OK Thanks a lot.

Just one other thing. I have a .iso file. How do you install these files?

An .ISO is an "cd image" file. What is the file?

I have windows XP sp2 as a .iso file and didn't know how to install it

I currently have XP home and want to update it. Can I install XP SP2
straight away???????

Hi Danny.

Yes, you can install SP2 right away. It will certainly increase your computers security levels. If you have any trouble installing, let us know and we'll help you through it.
