I don't know if this will work on XP, but I used this technique on NT
for quite awhile since it had a 4 gig limit. It would install on a
larger partition as long as it didn't have to format the drive. You could divide the drive into smaller partitions. I would put a maintenance partition on the drive and install XP. Update it to SP1. Then use it to format the other partition. Install XP on that partition and upgrade it to SP 1 and then start using that as you "normal" bootable partition. If you cannot install on the other partition because of the allocation table format differences, then you may have to make a system copy onto the other partition (don't know how to do this), or just make the partition 137 gig, and then make another partition as a non bootable partition. Or just make your maintenance partition larger to begin with and just "eat" the space. If you corrupt that system, then boot on your maintenance partition and you can work on the data in the other partition, or see if you can recover XP on the other partition from you maintenance partition..
