Default Windows XP Install

I have a Windows XP Upgrade CD. I'm trying to install it on a 320GB SATA HD.
However, the Install disk only recognizes 160 GB although BIOS recognizes
320GB. I was able to install a NEW (SP2) CD with now problem. THis CD does
recognize and let me format the whole drive.

Is there a way I can get a patch on a Floppy that will allow the Upgrade CD
format and install to 320GB HD?

Default Re: Windows XP Install

You do need XP SP2 in order for it to recognize all of the 320gb.
here are instructions on how to slipstream SP2 into XP and create a XP SP2
