Hi,
I just got a 160GB hard drive for my Windows XP Home system. I have an OEM Windows XP Home CD (w/o SP1). To use the new drive, I installed XP then applied SP1, then using Partition Magic resized the partition to 160GB. However, I'm concerned that if I ever have to boot using the Recovery Console on my non-SP1 CD, I would corrupt my partition if I made any changes to the filesystem.
Does anyone know if the Recovery Console from a non-SP1 Windows XP CD would corrupt a 48-bit LBA partition?
Thanks!
