Use a slipstreamed SP2 or SP3 CD. XP vanilla and SP1 have this issue.

If you use the option to create the 'maximum size' partition for primary use, then there may be no "space" left to create any extended partition needs. Check the size noted for the maximum partition size, and lower it by two or three numbers of the LSD (last significant digit). Set as 'primary', then create the extended partition and drive partitions. Not a new problem.
If the limit noted is 137 Gb, then create a 130 Gb primary partition.. and now you should be able to use all the hdd space, less about 1% or so for the OS setup info partition.

Evasive is correct. You need at least SP2 to see anything larger than 137gb. SP3 is still available for download through Microsoft, it should be in your Update list.
