Hey everyone,

This is my first time with alot of things. I just started my first computer build, and this is my first time in these forums. Here is my problem:

I got all my components together, was able to install windows xp pro just fine, but when I was installing and updating drives, I updated my USB controller driver, but when I did, all my USB ports went dead and I use a USB mouse and keyboard. When I restart with a mouse and keyboard in the dedicated ports, they do not work either. Also, my 500gb SATA hard drive is only showing up as 120gb total. I do not know what to do. Help?

Here are the core components of my computer:
Abit KN9 SLI motherboard
AMD Athlon X2 4000+
2gb Corsair PC6400 DDR2 800MHz
nVidia Geforce 8600 GTS

You may need to go into the BIOS to enable the USB mouse and keyboard. You can try a PS/2 mouse and keyboard.

If you don't have SP2 installed the BIOS will only recognize 137GB of that hdd.
