What motherboard? And BIOS? You can get both from CPU-Z (http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php)

Your BIOS appears to be version P10. You might want to upgrade to version P15 (http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=665&OSFullName=Windows*+XP+Professional&lang=eng&strOSs=44&submit=Go%21). You need at least version P11 for large drive support.
