You'll need to reinstall XP (uless you own Partition Magic)

Boot from the XP cd again, delete the partitions.
Make a single partition using NTFS.

Check your pin settings on the drive, its possible that you have it set to the wrong number of cylinders.

Its also possible that your motherboard wont recognize a drive that big, see if there is an update for your BIOS.
