Oops. The old "delete first, ask questions later" problem.
Windows will not recognize more than 137-GB until you install SP1. So what you need to do is boot with your XP disc, allow it to create the boot partition (50-GB or whatever you prefer), then install normally. After installing the chipset drivers, go to Windows Update and download and install the SP1 service pack and all crtitical updates. Then when you boot to Windows, you will see the remaining unpartitioned space (something under 200-GB). You may then create the other partitions.
