Question Installing my new HDD
Ok I got my new Seagate 750Gt SATA HDD today. I also have a new Windows XP Installation CD with SP2.

I just want to ask if there's any tutorials or tips that I should study before installing, because last time my Windows XP did not recognize full capacity of my 200Gt HDD, only 128Gt, so I don't want that to happen again with my 750Gt.
I've heared that you need to have at least SP1 for XP installed to use HDDs larger than 137GB, and my new WinXP Installation CD has SP2, so is my Windows gonna see my full 750 HDD without any problems or do I need to do something manually? Use Disc management or something?
My mobo is Asus A8N Sli Deluxe.

Thank you in advance!
