You formatted the drive in fat32 format using Windows XP. This is limited to
roughly 130 gig maximum size. You can format fat32 to larger sizes by using
3rd party tools. What you should really do is format the drive with to the
NTFS standard, which all current Windows operating systems understand.


Or format two FAT32 partitions instead of just one.
