Hi, i just bought a 150GB Western Digital Raptor 10k HDD to use has my primary HDD. Problem is i got the older version of Windows XP Home NOT SP2. Will it recognize the size of the HDD or i got to buy Windows XP Home SP2??

You must have SP1 or greater.

Your HDD will work, but without SP1 or greater, it will only recoginze 137 gigs.

or i got to buy Windows XP Home SP2??

You dont have to BUY SP2. Goto the microsoft webpage and order you a SP2 cd that will upgrade both home and pro to SP2.
dmroeder is right you must have sp1 or later to see all of a drive thats larger than 137 gig.
