Boot Camp Issues

I have a 500gig iMac that I have partitioned 200gig for windows xp via boot camp. When I place my xp disc in and install xp, it only shows a 131gig hd, and not the 200gig that I partitioned. I tried this once before, and it wiped out my entire mac hd and I had to wipe out xp and reboot leopard. Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong and why xp pro only sees 131gig instead of 200gig.



Thanks all

    This is just a stab in the dark, but did you format the HD as FAT or NTFS? I believe FAT has some kind of gigabyte limit that it supports.

    The FAT partition limit is not 131 so that's not it. But you should definitely use NTFS, there's no room in the world for FAT anymore



    Does it say 200 gig in Disk Utility?
