When I try to install XP - original on a 400gb hard drive I come across this problem. XP - original OEM cd only recognizes hard drives under 137gb's in size. This is also a OEM version so slipstreaming a service pack on it won't work
I would need XP sp1 or 2 to fix this limitation
The screenshot shows my current XP install on a 120gb drive

Question: Anyone know short of buying another copy of XP how to install or know the file that tells windows what version OEM or or not that XP is?
