So my new TB HDD is only being recognized as being 138 GB big. Any idea on why this is? (I've tried reformatting to NTSC, still nothing)

one of the many reasons you should always have automatic updates turned on.

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:

djscoop, has nothing to do with automatic updates as sp1 or 2 has to be on xp disk to get past 138gig unless you use a win98 boot disk.

I think you have a partition of 138MB. The other space is not allocated.

Start -> Control panel -> administrative tools -> computer management -> disk management

Your disk 0 will probably say C: 138GB NTFS then 793GB unallocated or around about that amount, just extend the C: partition to include the empty space
