You have to use a xp cd with atleast sp1/or Sp2 incorporated to have all space at once.

The original (1'st version) xp cd has the 130GB LBA limit.

 

Other option is to install sp2 , then enter diskmanagement and partition the rest of the space as a new partition.

i solved it by pressing f6 and loading the nvidia raid drivers and storage drivers, detected it as 238000mb instead of 131000mb which i believe is normal for a 250gb drive. Although i did read that angry games said not to use f6 if ur just using sata drive
