so I have windows xp. and well I did automatic update, and well it installed sevice pack one and two, and all the other bs. Well when I went to my computer and clicked properties, it showed I had no service pack, and when I tried to use certain programs that required service pack 1 and 2 it they didn't work. Finally I needed to use windows so I installed a service one pack patch, it worked and the computer recognizes it. I thought this would make my hard drive show up as the proper size but no.
My question is how do I fix this problem (clean up) and also how can I get windows to recognize my hard drive as a 250gb rather then a 127gb. I heard you just need sp1 and it will recognize it, but that didn't work, is it because all this was done on a system that has been in use for a couple of months before I did the automatic update which said it worked, but computer didn't regonize it (no windows firewall thing).
Any ideas?
