Most BIOS have a limit of 137GB. If you are using XP with SP2 all you should need to do is partition the full capacity while installing the OS. You could also create a couple partitions, this has the advantage that if you have you OS on a separate from you files you can reformat the partition with you OS without loosing any of you files.
Both SP1 and SP2 incorporate a 48 bit LBA which enable the recognition of the larger hdd, here's a good article if you want more information on it.
