Well i got a new 320gb hdd :D with the thoughts that i was going to make 3 partitions one for all my crap, one for xp, one for ubuntu. So i threw it in and then started to install xp frist. But it said the hdd was 120 gb!
So i was hmm i will just make a 20 gb one out of the '120gb ' and then do all the rest of the partition later in linux . So i got both installed and had to set up the GRUB bootloader again and stuff and it screw up . Long story short i had to do this like 4 times now i am sick of trying to get this duel boot working good cause xp doesn't see any of the hdd, mainly my stuff one which is fat32. So i am going to Just install xp on the 320gb but i dunno how to get ALL THE 320gb, seeing it only sees 120 :(

I think you need some update, doing the automatic updates should get you it. I think SP1 or SP2 had it, but I'm sure you can find the individual update if you don't want to use Service Packs.
