250g hard drive reports as 130g

[Nevermore]

I have a new hitachi 250g hdd, ata 133. (Yes, the label on the drive says 250g). I hooked it up to a Jetway N2PAP-Ultra, and went to install windows on it only to discover that windows is reporting the drive as 131069mb. Any ideas? I've never heard of a motherboard having a limitation on hard drive size or anything, so I'm a little perplexed. I think its likely a factory mishap that needs to be RMA'd, but thought I'd get some input first.

Thanks

Not exactly 137 GB's but close enough.

Do you have the first edition of windows xp? Pre-service pack 1 has problen properly recognizing larger capacity drives. Install service pack 2 and you should be fine.
