Install Windows XP Service Pack 2.

There is no problem with your harddisk. Since XP can't show more than 137 GB,
because of Windows 137 GB barrier is also called 48-bit Logical Block Addressing
Support for ATA (IDE), Serial ATA disc srives. This 137 GB barrier doesn't affect the
SCSI interface disc drives. you need to install the SP 1 & 2.
