This is true, i had a nightmare of a mission to install my 250Gb hard drives because my windows xp disk was pre sp1... i had to partition it so that it could see the drive in the windows installer, install windows then use partition magic to get the rest of my drive available. But i now have a OEM sp1 disc, and no longer have this issue... (running 2 x 200Gb SATA drives and 1 x 250Gb ATA drive no problems all running at full size)
