...or there are tools on the mufacturers websites. But service pack 1a+ is the better option ;)

When you installed XP, it created and formatted a 137gb partition, because SP1/SP2 wasn't present.
If you install SP1/SP2 now or run Big Hard Drive enabler, this in itself will not resize the 137gb partition. You will need to resize the partition.

service pack 1a+ is the better option ;)
Why SP1a? Whats wrong with SP1?
done sp1 so far, getting sp2 aswell atm

still has MS's attempt at Java in it, from what I remember. Yeah obviously you can just install S's version.
